Hennessy Sports Set For Big Midweek Boxing Show

Hennessy Sports puts on a big midweek bill tonight at London's York Hall with the vacant British Super Feather title up for grabs between Wembley based transplanted Irishman Billy "The Kid" Corcoran and Carl "Ingemar" Johanneson of Leeds. Johanneson, 23-2 (16), is more experienced and served his apprenticeship in the states, facing better competition in the form of Koba Gogoladze (in a losing effort) three years ago. But Corcoran, 14-1-1 (5), is on a roll with nine consecutive victories to his credit including a four round gunning down of ex-British Feather titlist Roy Rutherford for the English Super Feather belt nine months ago.

The Sky Sports televised bill also sees a trio of Hennessy's top prospects in action, light middle Darren Barker, lightweight sensation John Murray and southpaw light welter John O'Donnell.
