    I would make a couple of observations.

    Some white ethnic groups were highly marginalized in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and very likely to get the wrong end of the decision in a boxing match.

    Marginalized ethnic groups tend to gravitate towards boxing, rather than being bushed away from it.

    I mean they were neve likely to become the President.

    Travellers are a separate ethnic group and are not uniquely Irish.

    Lots of them here are English, like Billy Joe Saunders.

    There's a rumour that @Bart , at the request of his wife, Doris, has relocated and is currently enjoying the life of a fisherman-farmer somewhere in Connemara.

    Mel Gibson would probably do a boxing movie.
