Get Your Tickets Now! Masoliver's Top Stars Aim for Pro League Title Victory
Eoghan Masoliver admits it will be a "dream come true" when he walks out to a packed SSE Arena in April's PFL Belfast card. Nine months ago the 21-year-old was in the crowd celebrating as Paul Hughes knocked out Bruno Mirando inside 42 seconds. Now Masoliver is preparing for the biggest night of career to date as he takes on Dubliner Shane Mullen on the same card as Hughes, and it is one he is relishing.
"It is something that I have dreamed about. In May last year I was standing in the crowd when Paul fought Mirando and I felt it," said Masoliver. "I felt the energy and I said to myself that this is where I want to be.
I have to do this in my life, the opportunity has come and I'm just so grateful. I can't wait to show how good I am on such a big stage. "What an opportunity I have to show the world what I'm about and how good I am.
This is what I have been dreaming of since I was a kid. "To be able to fight in a packed out SSE Arena, in front of thousands of people is what I have dreamed of. It's a privilege to do all the media stuff and everything else that comes along with it.
How could I not be grateful for it when this is what I've wanted? "It's a kind of reality check that the hard work is paying off, what I'm doing is working and that the trust that I have in myself is warranted. " Hughes has been a big influence on Masoliver's career as the pair have followed similar paths having to leave their north west home to further their careers by joining Fight Academy Ireland.
