Congrats to Fearghus Quinn from Belleeks Co Armagh. I know his sister very well, certainly has dedicated every part of his life to boxing and now has the fantastic opportunity of fighting under MTK along side the fury, Frampton, conlons of the boxing world

Is that the lad that fought Donnelly in the Irish finals a year or two ago and was robbed?

The very one.

He looked good but dont know if he will be a heavy enough puncher at the higher level - fingers crossed another local boxer can go far.

Will have the opportunity to get on some good cards with them anyway if he gets a few wins

Fury a big 273

Wilder a very big 231

Anyone see Tyrone McKenna's fight last night? An absolute robbery of a decision for the French fella he was fighting. I was glancing at in play betting throughout and at the end the Frenchman was 1/200 to win then they suspended it completely they assumed it was that much of a given.

Though I suppose it's easier to market McKenna v O'Hara Davies in the final than some French fella who can't speak English.

Yeah it was a robbery. I thought when they read the scorecards out the scores were fair enough in favour of the Frenchman and couldn't believe they said Tyrone McKennas name. The reaction of the ref said it all. Even Tyrone couldn't believe it either. It was a good fight too.

Wilder all over the place here!

Certainly wasn't expecting it to be so one sided

The Gypsy King absolutely schooled him.... Mightily impressive destruction of an opponent.

Special performance from Fury. Didn't think Wilder looked right even before he got smashed on the ear.

Please, please, please, please don't go off the rails. Schooling Joshua in front of 90,000 in Wembley has to happen.

From Patsy Cline to Don McLean, u couldn't make it up. What a man

Delighted for Andy Lee btw. One of the best and most insightful analysts in Irish sport
