PROMOTER John Hyland has confirmed that he will engage in a pounds 50,000 wager with colleague Panos Eliades on the outcome of Eamonn Magee's all-Irish clash with Shea Neary at Belfast's Waterfront Hall on November 11.
Eliades, unable to travel to Belfast due to the horrendous weather, is tipping Magee to retain his Commonwealth light-welterweight title but Neary's promoter Hyland is confident that the 'Shamrock Express' will roll on towards a world title fight.
