down-payment on a world title.

William Bruce talks exclusively to Ian 'Mighty Cheekbones' Young

Football star turned kickboxing king Ian Young has added some (financial) muscle to his corner, ahead of the biggest fight of his career next month.

The Belfast man has just signed with  - The One Stop Mortgage Shop who will sponsor him in his European title fight against Italian Alessio Cassara in Belfast’s Park Avenue on June 15. Super welterweight Young is pictured with One Stop Mortgage boss Philip Davidson. He’ll be hoping the extra backing helps him put a down-payment on a world title.

Late last night Young was left reeling with the news that over-eating has scuppered his bid for a rematch with the man who made him see stars and spend a night in hospital.

The football star turned ring wizard was due to meet reigning champ Danilo Fanfano in a title clash, set for Belfast on June 15. However, Young will still contest for the European WKN title next month as the WKN have replaced Fanfano with top contender - Alessio Cassara.
The undercard for ‘The Italian Job II’ will see 5 top Swiss fighters against 5 of Prokick’s top fighters.

Ringside is now sold out and other tickets are selling fast and are available online at www.prokickshop.com or through usual outlets priced £20 for adults £7.50 for kids and any Prokick kids go free when they wear their Prokick uniform, children must be accompanied with an adult.
