Kerry boxer Kevin Cronin will have his fourth professional fight in Spain this weekend and the light heavyweight is seeking his fourth consecutive win in the professional ranks.

His opponent was not yet known at the time of going to print but Cronin will be in action in the Guardamar Arena in Alicante on Saturday evening, with the fight being streamed on the Boxing Ireland Promotions Facebook page (facebook.com/loveirishboxing).

Cronin, nicknamed The Kingdom Warrior, has announced that the bout will be shown live at the Harbour View restaurant in Killorglin. It is believed that around 100 fans will be present at the fight itself.

The Milltown native’s stock is steadily rising in the boxing world. He picked up his third win in March of this year when he stopped Bosnian Boris Mrkonjic in Luxembourg.

The fireman has his sights set on national titles and European titles and he will be hoping that Saturday’s fight is another step in the right direction.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
