    Hi people,

    I just thought that i would let you know that Macca underwent brain surgery on Saturday night and had piece of his skull removed - i wont go into details as i dont think thats fair on him or his family but it goes without saying that he will never box again. As a close friend of Darrens i am happy to say that he is now out of the critical ward and is doing well.

    I would like to wish him all the best in what is no doubt the biggest fight of his life but one i know he will win!!!!

    All the Best Mac


    Over the last 2/3 weeks Macca has been sparring with Franke Gavin and Nathan Cleverlay - The surgeons presume that it has come from a blow to the head but nothing is comformed yet and tests are ongoing.

    Im sure it will be out in the press soon.

    Im hoping to see Darren in the next day or so, i will post then and let you all know how he his.


    This was just posted by a close friend of Darrens on the boxrec forum sad news

    Good luck in the future to McDermott. Sad news though, was a talented fighter.

    good luck to mcdermott and thoughts with his family

    on another note, i think its rather unfair to put gavins and cleverly name in the picture for causing it being so young in their careers

    Ahh Bless him, lesson to all those who spar without headguards. They are thorough pro's and it still happened- presumably wearing all the right gear too. Best of luck to you Darren thank God it wasn't in a fight.

    He always comes across as a real intellectual and i'm sure he'll go on to make something more of himself.

    This is a bit of a shock, sounds like a very serious injury. Goes without saying but best wishes to Darren and his family.
