“I’m delighted to be lacing up the gloves again and looking forward to winning some titles.”
Ballinrobe’s Sweeney explained that “obviously I’ve enjoyed boxing in the U.K. but this fight in Belfast makes it easier for my friends and family to come and support me.”
“I cant wait to show people what I can do and keep progressing every fight”
The duo’s management at MGM commented how “we wanted to get Timsy out as quick as we could. and are delighted to get him a fight close to home. We have a plan in place but it’s up to him now to do the business.”
“Regards Gary, we are excited about his future and know if we maneuvre him correctly it wont be long before he is winning titles.”
“We would like to thank Mark Dunlop for working with us and helping to get the lads on the show, It was a quick phone call and its great to be able to work alongside other people in this game.”
