Seanie Monaghan returns to action at MSG against Roger Cantrell

Monaghan to battle Cantrell this weekend

“Since the storm, 90 percent of the bars in the West End (in Long Beach) are closed and people are dying for a night out, and this is a good chance for them to go out and enjoy themselves,” he says.

Monaghan says that it took some time to finalize an opponent, but since Cantrell came on board he has done much of his sparring with fellow New York light heavyweight Joe Smith to prepare for the challenge. The question is, does Cantrell have any chance of spoiling the party?  

"I am expecting this guy to come and fight the fight of his life,” said Monaghan. “He was supposed to be a decent amateur and he has two losses against good guys -- Andre Ward and a Polish guy -- but he has not been in action for a while,” Monaghan says.

Monaghan is ready to get back in the ring this weekend after a very tough period outside the squared circle. He is hoping that a strong performance and win will get the New Year off to a good start and help him increase his profile further. 

Tickets for the fight are available from the Saloon in Long Beach (516-432-9185) and Murphy's Law in Manhattan (212-628-3724).
