Irish Boxing

I am not very familiar with Australia's boxing scene and i can't really think of a an Austalian fighter who promoted his Irish heritage. I also want to make clear that Irish Americans who use the nickname in no way are denouncing or are not proud to be American. Like I said its just a tradition.

 

Kiwi is not Australian ml, it is New Zealand. I am the proudest irish/kiwi in New Zealand of his Irish heritage. I have an Irish passport and I visit me das hometown of Limerick from time to time. I also root for the All Blacks on the rugby scene/and of course the winning NZ sevens. I was brought up in New Zealand but I'm 'irish' at heart and mind.

 

Does anybody know anything about the Cuban heavyweight exile Mike Perez who is fighting out of Cork. I think I read somewhere that he is a previous junior world heavyweight champion. It would add an extra bit of spice to the Irish boxing scene if a guy like this could prove himself on the European or even world stage. I know that I'm being a bit presumptuous but who knows.

 

cough*Wards ould fella is from Bolton * cough !!!!

 

i don't think it'll be in the t.f. I read in the western people (mayo paper that henry coyle writes articles for) that that it'll be in some other place in mayo. I don't know how to post links but it's somewhere in the papers website. No i've never fight but i remember he used to train youngsters in rosmuc. Yes sweeney trains with mannion but he did do some training with manny steward for 2 weeks after christmas.

 

he won gold at light-heavy at the world junior championships he's 2-0 2.K.O...he is being trained by nicolas cruz and if you look in the crowd during the mccloskey at the last andy lee fight yot can see him wearing a red shirt.
