EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
and he was a slippery operator, but if I got a
rematch with him I would beat him.
Lindsay, a fight the Irish boxing fans would love
to see?
KO: After that fight you gained a lot of respect
from the boxing public so what’s next for
Patrick Hyland?
Patrick: Yes I’m the Irish Champion so if anyone
wants to challenge me for my title just ask. I was
asked to relinquish my belt but that title is dear to
my heart. I’m an Irish fighter, Irish Champion, so if
anyone wants to fight me, I’ll fight them.
Patrick: Well I was to fight in New York on May
18th for an USBA Title against Eric Hunter, but I
have had to pull out due to a shoulder injury. If I
had fought and won that, it would have put me in
the top 5 in the
World. That
ranking would set
me up nicely to
then have a crack
at the big boys,
any of them for a
World Title.
