Irish super-bantamweight champ Paulie Hyland wants more fights - but most of all he wants former European and world title winner Bernard Dunne. Having disposed of Eugene Heagney with clinical ease at the National Stadium this month, the 25-year-old Tallaght native believes 2010 will bring bigger and better prizes in the ring.
A clash with Dunne is a possibility - particularly if Hyland emerges from a February showdown for the EU title in Italy.
He said: "I will call out (European Champion) Rendall Munroe. Then, ideally Bernard. If he comes that would be great. I think he has a few years left in his tank and it would be a major fight."
Dunne (28-2 (25KO)) has still to confirm where his future lies and recent reports suggest he is contemplating retirement in the aftermath of his recent world title loss.
"I’ve no problem fighting him tomorrow," said Hyland.
"I’m confident. If you don’t have it there is no point in getting in the ring."
