Matthew Macklin is gearing up for one of the biggest fights of his career tomorrow night.
The man with strong Tipperary links will fight in Ireland for the first time in nearly 5 years, when he faces Jorge Sebastian Heiland on Saturday at the 3 Arena in Dublin.

The two will clash in a middleweight bout that is also a WBC world title eliminator.
Whoever wins will take a big step towards a fight against WBC champion Miguel Cotto, although Macklin's fellow Irishman Andy Lee could come into the reckoning.
