An undefeated Irish boxer who once fought on a Katie Taylor undercard as a nine-year-old is hoping to get a place on her massive card at the 3Arena in May.
Steven Cairns took his professional record to 5-0 with victory over Polish fighter Jakub Laskowski in Newcastle earlier this month, but his boxing journey began in earnest 11 years ago with a win on an undercard headlined by the current undisputed lightweight champion.
The Cork man, 20, defeated a fighter three years his senior at the Silver Springs Hotel in his native county as Taylor beat American Liz Leddy months before she won Olympic gold in London.
