Hearn is bringing Prizefighter to the Odyssey in late March or early April and will amazingly use the tournament as an undercard for a Paul McCloskey/Michael Katsidis clash.
“I spoke to Paul and told him we need a name to keep his profile up and we need a fight soon to keep him rocking. Katisidis is a well know fighter. He is know in Britain and Ireland because of his fights with Kevin Mitchell and Ricky Burns. He likes to go to war. He is the type of opponent that will capture the imagination. We need to keep banging the drum and defeating Katisidis will keep Paul in world title contention,” said Hearn.
The heir to the Matchroom throne has already began talks with team Katsidis and claims inaugural Prizefighter winner Martin Rogan is on board to fight in a Heavyweight Prizefighter the Internationals.
Katsidis lost to Ricky Burns in his last fight and ended his long time relationship with coach and manager Brendon Smith before moving to the States.
More news about this matchup will be known over the coming weeks.
