Return of Delaney Looms in Light Heavyweight Scene
New York reports a potential return of Jack Delaney to light heavyweight action as the 175-pound class may shake with Loughran, Lomski, and Sekyra. Delaney would seek to reestablish prestige with a Delaney-Loughran bout reportedly eyed for an outdoor arena this summer under Rickard. Lomski vs Sekyra set for March 30 at Madison Square Garden to test rising contenders, with Loughran eyeing a Garden main event in late April if the winner shines. Sekyra, 21, from Dayton with Bohemian roots, has built momentum after strong amateur and pro showings, while Lomski hails from Aberdeen and previously beat Loughran twice in their title bout.
