New Europa opponent for Feargal McCrory this weekend

Top Pro Gif Ad
Feargal McCrory [2(1)-0] has been handed a change of opponent for his bout on the MHD Promotions ‘Another Level’ show in Belfast this Saturday.

The Coalisland lightweight was initially due to face Billy Parker at the Europa Hotel, but the Southampton slugger has been forced off the card due to a medical suspension mandated following a knockout loss in his last fight to Bilal Rehman.

In his place, Bulgarian Ivailo Boyanov [2(0)-5(3)-1] has been drafted in for the four round bout. Boyanov may be known to some as the debut opponent of Connor Benn, where he was stopped within a round. However, the light welterweight has also this year upset English prospect Andrew Joicey and is not one to be underestimated.

The Paul Hyland-headlined dinner show also features undercard support from Scotland’s Ronnie Clark, Derry man Tyrone McCullagh, and the Dublin trio of Ian Tims, Jay Byrne, and debutant Carl McDonald.
