Duddy
returns to ring May 18 Beacon Theatre in Manhattan
NEW YORK CITY (April 16, 2007) - Fresh off of his 19th victory on March
16 against Anthony Bonsante before a sold-out house in The Theater at
Madison Square Garden, "Ireland's" John Duddy returns to the ring May
18, headlining a card against an opponent to be determined at the Beacon
Theatre in Manhattan.
The Derry, Northern Ireland-native Duddy (19-0, 15 KOs), rated No. 9 by
the WBA and No. 13 by the IBF, is the reigning IBA World and WBC
Continental Americas middleweight champion, who now fights out of Queens
(NY).
Also scheduled to fight on the May 18th show against TBA is the latest
Polish knockout sensation, newly crowned New York State middleweight
title-holder Pawel "Raging Bull" Wolak (14-0, 9 KOs), fighting out of
Mt. Arlington, New Jersey; unbeaten Brooklyn middleweight Peter "Kid
Chocolate" Quillin (10-0, 9 KOs), 2004 Irish National Senior amateur
champion Henry Coyle (1-0, 1 KO), from County Mayo in Ireland; multiple
European and Irish amateur champ Aloysius "Alo" Kelly, the light
heavyweight from Westmeath, Ireland now living in Queens; WBA top rated
lightweight Maureen "The Real Million Dollar Baby" Shea (10-0, 5 KOs),
from the Bronx; New York City super flyweight Eileen Olszewski (2-0, 0
KOs), three-time U.S. National Champion. All fighters are subject to
change.
"This will be John's last fight in the United States for the immediate
future, at least until the end of this year or the beginning of 2008,"
Irish Ropes Promotions president Eddie McLoughlin said. "We've been
inundated with requests for him to fight in Europe. His popularity
continues to grow and some say he's as popular over there as he is here.
We're going to see about that. John's tentatively scheduled to fight
July 7 at the National Stadium in Ireland. He will be the sole draw on
that card and we're going to see how fast he sells out there. We'll
gauge his performance and popularity off that fight and then discuss a
possible European title fight in the late summer or early fall in
Ireland."
Tickets, ranging between $50.00 and $300.00, are available by calling
Irish Ropes Promotions at 212.835.1582 or TicketMaster at 212.307.7171.
All TicketMaster orders are subject to a TicketMaster service charge.
