The 29-year-old shared eight all-action rounds with Charly Lopez \u2013 and with the bout being scored a draw, neither took the strap home. <\/p>\n<p>Considering O\u2019Neill lost his last two to Dylan Moran and Sukhdeep Singh Bhatti respectively, it\u2019s unlikely a title will be on the line when they meet at light middleweight, but it\u2019s an entertaining fight for Chanel 5 nonetheless. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also been suggested that Galway\u2019s Kieran Molloy could fight for a title on the bill. Ben Marksby may be an option for Dave Ryan after Senan Kelly suffered a cut that may rule the Kildare man out of their proposed April 4 clash. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Owen O\u2019Neill and Glen Byrne will clash this March in a fight that all but guarantees action, according&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,239803,74539,239804,85],"class_list":["post-469427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-glen-byrne","tag-michael-conlan","tag-owen-oneill","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
