Horn Vs Corcoran to air on Main Event in December

Are you ready to rumble on Main Event in December?

Jeff “The Hornet” Horn will defend his WBO World Welterweight title for the first time since defeating Manny Pacquiao in July when he takes on Englishman Gary “Hellraiser” Corcoran in the ‘Battle of Brisbane 2’ on December 13.

The international match-up is evenly poised with Corcoran boasting 17 wins and just the one loss, while Horn has also secured 17 victories and a draw on his way to the title.

An aggressive and destructive fighter, the Hellraiser will put the Hornet’s sting to the test.  Corcoran’s no-frills boxing style has evolved from his tough upbringing and the 27-year-old is hell-bent on taking the WBO title back to his “traveller” community in south London.

This massive night of exceptional boxing on Foxtel’s MAIN EVENT will be hosted by Eddie McGuire who will be joined by panellists FOX LEAGUE’Paul Kent and former World Champion boxer Barry Michael, with MAIN EVENT’s Ben Damon providing behind-the-scenes reporting.
