Femi Fehintola WILL realise his dream of fighting in front of a capacity crowd in the boxing Mecca of Las Vegas.

The Bradford Moor super-featherweight faces Mexican Barbero Zapeda (won eight, lost 14, drawn 1) in a four-round contest on the undercard of gym-mate Ricky Hatton's mega-fight with with Jose Castillo at the Thomas and Mack Center tomorrow night.

Fehintola has been part of the Hitman' entourage in Vegas and has spent the last three weeks training and sparring with a top American prospect.

After arriving Stateside, Fehintola was told there would be a chance of fighting on the Hatton undercard but chose instead to fill his time with some quality work in the gym in preparation for a scheduled Bradford show next month.

However, the temptation has proved too much and, speaking from Vegas last night, he said he would be making his Vegas debut after all.

He explained: "Ricky and his team told my promoter Dennis Hobson and my trainer how good I looked in sparring and it's back on.

"I'm over the moon and looking to impress. I'll be weighing in at my usual super-featherweight limit.

"I'm going to do the business and put Bradford on the map over in Vegas."

The Hatton v Castillo fight will be screened by Setanta Sports, the ambitious broadcasters who have established themselves as rivals to Sky Sports.
