Martin Rogan's trainer Bernardo Checa says that his fighter is like the iceberg that sank the Titanic.

Martin Rogan's trainer Bernardo Checa has said that his fighter will be "the iceberg that sinks" Tyson Fury in Belfast.

The Irishman will take on Fury at the Odyssey Arena on April 14 – 100 years to the day that the Titanic sank.

Checa, a Panamanian who has trained greats such as Roberto Duran, believes that engineering a victory for Rogan would rank among his greatest achievements.

"The fight is one the same night that the Titanic sunk 100 years ago and I think that Rogie will be the iceberg who will sink the big ship Fury who everyone thinks cannot be stopped," Checa told the Sunday Life newspaper.

"I have watched Fury quite a few times and he has been hurt in many fights, he has been put down and there is a pattern, there is a reason and I plan to exploit those weaknesses.

"Rogie is the underdog and I like this kind of challenge. Rogie beating Fury would be one of my biggest achievements and you know with heavyweights you just have to hit the right spot and the man will go down. They can all hit very, very hard."

The 40-year-old fighter has not fought since 2010, when he outpointed Werner Kreiskott in a six-round contest.
