The Fantasy Irish Boxing Super Series (FIBSS) – Tournament #4
Lockdown is motoring along and it’s time, already, for the fourth edition of the Fantasy Irish Boxing Super Series (FIBSS).
This time? Professional Light Welterweights.
Andy Lee, Carl Frampton, and Michael Carruth have already picked up titles and it is now the turn of the ten-stone pros – and we have a wide open tournament on our hands.
Borrowing from the hugely successful World Boxing Super Series, our followers will decide the winner of the fantasy tournament. There will be a random draw followed by quarters, semis, and a grand final, all decided via polls on our Twitter account over the course of tomorrow (Sunday).
