Gary Cully is looking to join Katie Taylor on a massive Croke Park card next year - and is hoping to fight for a world title on it.
The Kildare native faces France's Jaouad Belmehdi on the undercard of Taylor's bout with Karen Elizabeth Carabajal in London on Saturday night as he looks to take another step towards a world title shot.
Cully, who is coached by the undisputed lightweight champion's father Pete and is fighting under the Matchroom banner for the first time, thanked the Bray Bomber for "paving the way for Irish fighters".
