UNDEFATED DUBLINER LUKE Keeler will put his perfect pro record on the line in the next Prizefighter tournament.
The Crumlin middleweight takes part in the eight-man tournament at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool on Saturday 14 February.
“Delighted to be included and promise to put on a show,” Keeler told promoter Eddie Hearn following Tuesday’s announcement.
“Cool Hand” Luke moved to 7-0 with a first-round stoppage against Gary Boulden on the Matthew Macklin-Jorge Sebastian Heiland undercard in Dublin’s 3Arena in November.
The 27-year-old is hoping to add his name to the Irish winners of Prizefighter, which sees eight boxers compete in three-round tournament-style fights.
Martin Rogan, Willie “Big Bang” Casey, Eamon O’Kane and Jono Carroll have all won previous editions of the competition which started in 2008.
Jack Arnfield (17-0), Tom Doran, Mick Hall, Craig Cunningham (all 11-0), Liam Conroy (7-2), Cello Renda (25-10-2) and Warren Tansey (10-1) have also been confirmed for the middleweight tournament which will be shown live on Sky Sports.
