Hennessy Sports puts on a "do" tonight at the International Centre in Brentwood, England tonight and a Commonwealth Middleweight title scrap between reigning champion Darren Barker and challenger Jason McKay leads the way.
Barker, 18-0 (11), has certainly earned the nickname "Dazzling" with good performances against his last three opponents, Larry Sharpe, Steve Bendall and Ben Crampton and hopes to pull off the same feat against Ulster man McKay, 20-2 (6).
A former Irish Light Heavyweight title holder, McKay was pulled out of his Irish Super Middle title scrap against Andy Lee after five rounds a year ago and will likely have to mount the performance of a lifetime if he is to unseat Barker tonight.
The undercard sports what promises to be a real dogfight as hard-luck former IBO Champion Brian Magee, 31-3-1 (21) and Scotland's Steve McGuire, 14-0-1 (4), square off for Carl Froch's old British Super Middleweight title.
Two excellent prospects are on the bill, welterweight Stephen Haughian and lightweight Gareth Couch.
