O’Leary was devastating in his performance against Hughes last time out, making his way to the ring in front of a vibrant crowd before delivering them a stoppage victory. <\/p>\n
The 26-year-old is unbeaten across his 19 fights and will be boxing in Dublin for the second time as a professional. <\/p>\n
“There’s nothing like fighting in Dublin and having support like this is priceless,” he said in the pre-fight media conference.<\/p>\n
“Mark can study me all he likes but I’m the wrong person to study, the way that we’ve been preparing in the gym is special. <\/p>\n
“The best chance he had of beating me was in the last fight, and he still wouldn’t have beaten me so he’s especially not doing it this time.”<\/p>\n
Chamberlain was previously tipped to fight for a world title after winning two fights by stoppage on big cards in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n
But his career faltered in late 2024 as he was beaten by Josh Padley at Wembley Stadium on the undercard of Anthony Joshua against Daniel Dubois. <\/p>\n
A win for “Thunder” on Saturday would not only be a significant upset in O’Leary’s home city, but would also likely propel him back towards fighting for major honours in the sport. <\/p>\n
“I know what to expect on the night as they’re all going to be there for Pierce,” Chamberlain added. <\/p>\n
“At the end of the day it’s just us two in there and I’ll blank out the noise, I’ve trained hard and I’m ready for 12 rounds.<\/p>\n
“I’m looking forward to getting back out there and having a fight, I’m going to win and I’m going for the upset.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
