Commenting after the victories, their manager Ian Gaughran said: “I’m buzzing for Rudy and Dom. They went out to Alicante and got the job done.

"Huge thanks to Iain Mahood for the job he’s done with Rudy- you could see the improvement in there, but also for stepping into Dom’s corner. It means the world and could be the start of something great.”

Iain Mahood added: “Whatever happens, one thing is for sure, Carrickfergus seems to be on the map for professional boxing with the continuous success of the boxers from Evolution Boxing Club.”
