Byrne had 200 amateur fights in Ireland and started his pro fighting career here. He has had six fights here, six in the USA and two in Ireland. Where will he go after his next four fights?

Dean had some issues with his VISA in the States so had to leave the Wildcard. He is now based in Manchester and is being trained by Arnie Farnell and promoted by Frank W.arren. Warren seems to be trying to break into the Irish market as he has signed a few Irish fighters.

Yeah he wasted a year of his career in the States because of it aswell.

[Mark pawsey]

His pretty good fighter and has time on his side, I heard he improved when he went to the states, also he's Paul Griffin's cousin, Paul was a very talented fighter aswell. I heard his back Ireland also and still fighting his about 40.
