Here is one of my favourite photos of the legendary Belfast trainer, John Breen with two of his champions, Paul McCloskey (British & European) and Eamonn Magee (Commonwealth & WBU) ❤️🥊
#OnThisDay back in 1989, Eamonn Magee claimed a silver medal for Ireland at the World Junior Championships in Puerto Rico. He had beaten Cuban, Puerto Rican and Bulgarian opponents before losing to the East German 17-10 in the final 🥊
Keep the great archive photos coming. If you would like to share any on the page, have a look and feel free to contact me via private message or my email: [email protected] 🥊
Back in 2000, Eamonn Magee defended his Commonwealth Light-Welterweight title against former World Champion, Shea Neary at a packed Waterfront Hall. That win put Eamonn to Number 1 in Britain and Ireland in his weight. I was there that night and the atmosphere was amazing 🥊
Here is a photo of the Magee brothers, Noel, Eamonn and Patrick with the reigning World Darts champion, Eric Bristow from back in 1986. Eric owned a pub called the ‘Crafty Cockney’ in Stoke-on-Trent where Noel was based in his early pro career❤️🎯🥊
With my brother Noel and Patsy McKenna at the Ardoyne Boxing Club Show today. Patsy is 82 and still giving back to the kids like he did for me and many others ❤️🥊
#OnThisDay back in 2002, Ricky Hatton climbed off the canvas in round 1 to win a close points decision against Eamonn Magee at a packed Manchester Arena. There were words between the pair before the fight, but the respect stayed long after and they became friends.
RIP Ricky🙏❤️
