By William Mackay: For 37-year-old DeMarcus Corley’s sake I hope he brings his own judges to his fight against light welterweight contender Paul McCloskey (23-1, 12 KO’s) in the form of his fists on May 5th at the Kings’ Hall, in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Paul McCloskey vs. DeMarcus Corley on May 5th
By William Mackay: Light welterweight contender Paul McCloskey (23-1, 12 KO’s) will be facing 37-year-old journeyman DeMarcus Corley (38-19-1, 22 KO’s) on May 5th instead of Julio Diaz, because Diaz reportedly is having problems with the weight and would likely not be able to make 140 for this fight. Corley and McCloskey will be fighting at the King’s Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Julio Diaz may need a KO to beat Paul McCloskey on May 5th
By Scott Gilfoid: I’m really hoping that Julio Diaz (38-7, 27 KO’s) isn’t the next poor sap that goes into Belfast and comes out miserable in his upcoming fight against Ireland’s Paul McCloskey (23-1, 12 KO’s) on May 5th at the King’s Hall in Belfast, Northern, Ireland.
Diaz vs. McCloskey on 5/5: Can get Julio get a fair shake in Belfast?
By William Mackay: Former IBF lightweight champion Julio Diaz (38-7, 27 KO’s) gets to the next fighter that tries his hand at attempting to beat Ireland’s Paul McCloskey (23-1, 12 KO’s) on May 5th at the King’s Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Diaz, 32, is likely going to have to be especially impressive in this fight in order to walk out of the King’s Hall with the win, because we saw last September how hard it can be for someone to beat the 32-year-old McCloskey, #9 WBA, in Belfast.

The 32-year-old McCloskey hasn’t been able to land a title shot after beating Breidis Prescott by a controversial 12 round decision last September in a WBA light welterweight title eliminator bout.

By William Mackay: Having had no luck in trying to find a contender or champion that was willing to travel to Belfast to fight #8 WBA ranked light welterweight contender Paul McCloskey, Eddie Hearn, McCloskey’s promoter at Matchroom Sport, is reportedly looking to have him fight 2nd tier fighter Curtis Woodhouse (16-3, 11 KO’s) in April in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
McCloskey vs. Katsidis a possibility for March
By William Mackay: A fight between Michael Katsidis and Paul McCloskey is being talked about as potential fight for March. McCloskey (23-1, 12 KO’s) recently defeated Breidis Prescott by a 12 round unanimous decision last September in a WBA light welterweight title eliminator bout in Belfast, Ireland.
Paul McCloskey not fighting: Does he need a new promoter?
By Sean McDaniel: Paul McCloskey (23-1, 12 KO’s) defeated Breidis Prescott by a 12 round unanimous decision last year in September in a World Boxing Association title eliminator bout in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
McCloskey hopes to be back in the ring in February or March
By Sean McDaniel: Since successfully beating Breidis Prescott by a 12 round unanimous decision last September in a WBA light welterweight title eliminator bout in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Paul McCloskey (23-1, 12 KO’s) has kind of been the forgotten man in the division. The title fight that he had hoped would come with the Prescott victory has failed to materialize and it’s unclear when McCloskey will eventually get the title shot that he worked so hard to get.
