If this is anything to go by, the fight is going to be awesome…

Matthew Macklin meets Argentina’s Jorge Sebastian Heiland in a WBC world-title eliminator at the 3Arena this weekend but there’s a fight on the undercard that’s threatening to overshadow the main event.

Cork’s Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan will fight Dublin’s Anthony Fitzgerald in what is 100% a grudge match between the fighters. The two men have been looking for this fight for a while and have built up a bitter rivalry with plenty of back and forth on Twitter as well pot shots in the media.

It will all come to a head on Saturday but it almost kicked off big time during yesterday’s pre-fight press conference as tempers overflowed. Check out the drama below.
