Preparations begin ahead of War in Waterford

Anticipation is building ahead of what promises to be a boxing night to remember, as promoter Neil Power brings 'War in Waterford' to SETU Arena this afternoon

Waterford native Dylan Moran will top the bill as he takes on Tyrone McKenna in what promises to be 'the real deal's biggest boxing test to date"

Moran who turned thirty on Wednesday knows that the fight against 'the mighty Celt McKenna' at SETU this evening is 'my everything. Ring that bell now.' 

The All-Irish boxing bout which headlines the Pro Box TV/Conlan boxing card is expected to be a boxing match to remember, with Ballybeg boxer Moran hoping to deliver the knockout punch in front of his home faithful. 

Speaking to Waterford-News.ie at the SETU Arena this afternoon (Saturday), promotor Neil Kelly said "it promises to be a big night in what we're expecting to be a big crowd. Ticket sales went well for us and tickets will be available on the door for the event."

Moran is set to be joined on the night by fellow Waterford boxers, Craig McCarthy who is fighting Graham McCormack, and Shane McConnell who is fighting Michal Malicki.
