McCafferty makes second bid for the middleweight crown
World Championship Kickboxing returns to the Clanree Hotel, Letterkenny, Ireland for another action-packed fight extravaganza on 30th May 2009. Topping the bill will be local hero and light-middleweight sensation, Tommy McCafferty.
The young hot-shot destroyed all opposition put in front of him to land the prestigious ISKA European and Commonwealth titles. He then challenged the Light-middleweight World Champion Fran Zuccala after a twelve round war. A match that was voted fight of the year 2008 McCafferty lifted the belt.
On the 21st March 2009 McCafferty Challenged Germany’s Jen Lintow for the ISKA World Middleweight Championship. Another hard fought twelve rounds with the veteran and multi-World Champion Lintow taking the decision as the belt was place around his waist he announced his retirement.
