How to Watch Paddy Donovan, Kurt Walker and Kieran Molloy Fight Tonight – Time- Running Order

Top Rank trio Paddy Donovan [7(5)-0], Kurt Walker and Kieran Molloy will add serious Irish interest to this boxing’s biggest card this weekend.

The trio will populate the undercard of undisputed light welterweight champion Josh Taylor’s defence against Jack Catterall on Saturday, February 26 at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow.

It’s a massive chance for the young talents to advertise their skills on a card that will attract global interest.

Limerick welter, Donovan was last seen in the ring defeating Jose Luis Castillo at the Feile in Belfast in August.

That victory came after back-to-back step wins over Jumaane Camero and Siar Ozgul either side of Christmas 2020. A hand injury prevented the 22-year-old from building on those wins in 2021 although he did score a knockout win at the Feile.

Having been over six months out of the ring he returns against Miroslav Serban [13(7)-8(2)] in a six round fight.

Belfast’s Walker and Galway’s Molloy will debut on the cards. The Conlan Boxing and Top Rank fighters face Jaroslav Hriadel [1(1)-2(1)] and Damian Esquisabel [4(0)-7(3)].

None of the trio will appear were initially set to appear on the Sky Sports element of the card, but Donovan has now been upgraded to the ‘float’ fight, meaning he could appear anytime across the Sky broadcast including just before the main event, or if worse comes to worst after it.

Molly and Walkers fights will be broadcast on Top Ranks youtube channel while Sky Sports Facebook page will also air the action.

The Conlna Boxing duo fight one after the other with Molloy gloving off the action at 17:30.
