Belfast heavyweight Martin Rogan I know started boxing late, turned pro at 33. I remember watching him outpoint Audley Harrison and thinking he was a tough guy, he also stopped Matt Skelton in the 11th.

Does anyone know if he had an amateur background. I wonder how well he might have done if he started young.

Yes. Won the Seniors and represented Ireland.

From what I have heard he never had his first amateur fight til he was 29 or some say he was as old as 30

Rogan and Skelton - proper come forward fighters - they can take a shot and give a hard shot too.

No. As far as I'm aware he's got in to the fitness and training side of things. Think that he does a fitness class in the Falls leisure centre.

He seems to have a fight in New Zealand scheduled in June.
