Barry McGuigan (champion) v Bernard Taylor (challenger)
Barry McGuigan, the Clones Cyclone, makes his first defence of the title he won so convincingly on that memorable June evening in London.
Bernard Taylor, the 23-year-old American, who fought a draw with former champion Eusebio Pedroza, is the official No 1 challenger in this mandatory defence. Taylor, the BT Express, will need more than a good record to beat McGuigan. Nearly 7,000 fanatical supporters will lift the roof off the King's Hall at Belfast's first world title fight for 36 years - as local hero Barry makes the fight a truly home town affair.

Set in the seaside town at the height of the holiday season, Brighton Rock tells the story of Pinkie Brown , a psychopathic gang leader, who hunts down a journalist responsible for the death of another hoodlum.
The Boulting Brothers' famous film version of Graham Greene 's novel is particularly notable for the menacing performance by Richard Attenborough as the 17-year-old Pinkie. This was one of the first British films to make extensive use of locations, giving the film a powerful sense of authenticity.
