It has been a whirlwind week for Paddy Holohan. Just over a week ago, he was preparing for his flyweight bout with Louis Smolka on Saturday in the 3Arena.
However, with two originally scheduled main events now cancelled due to injuries, Holahan has seen his fight pushed up to the top of the billing.
The Hooligan and Smolka spoke to the press in Dublin on Thursday ahead of the event, revealing that they only found out on Wednesday evening that they were moved to the top of the card after Joe Duffy's fight was cancelled with Dustin Poirier as a result of the Donegal man suffering a concussion.
