About Me

Hi everyone. I started boxing at the age of 8 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After winning a Silver Medal at the 1992 Olympic Games, I moved to Las Vegas to pursue my dream of becoming a professional boxing World Champion. I turned pro in 1993 and was trained by the late great Eddie Futch. I realized my dream in 1995 when I went to Nagoya, Japan and dethroned the Japanese Champion picking up the WBC Bantamweight belt. I've fought some of the best fighters in the world and had the opportunity to make some great friends in and out of boxing too. Check out my blog which I'll be updating with news and information on my boxing career as well as the fighters that I now train and my new position with the UFC. I am sponsored as an Elite Athlete with Power Bar. And don't forget "Keep you chin down and your hands up!"

The fight is off!

The whole fight card has been canceled due to slow ticket sales. But I know the Irish fans - there'd have been a huge walk up and the place would have sold out on the night. But obviously the promoter...
