Just seen on the Northern Ireland news, Eamonn Magee will return to the ring tonight in an exhibition fight at tonights Ulster Hall bill in Belfast. He got the call tonight due to a boxer pulling out and hes standing in for the exhibition fight.

The atmosphere here in Belfast will be electric!

This is an amazing story after what Magee has been through and this news has just broke!

I’ll be there in an hour and a full report will be on Britishboxing.net of the card.

Good luck to him, I shall be interested to hear how he looks and performs.

:( There was big talk about this even in the crowd, then we heard they went against the idea. But Magee was there, looking well and was in the ring with his WBU title with a huge cheer from the crowd. Last time I seen him was at the Brian Magee and Robin Reid fight and he was walking with a limp. Tonight I seem him walking and he looked fine, looks fit and seems to be ready to get back.

Wayne Alexander was also there on parade with his belt. Good to see him based in Belfast and John Breens gym is certainly very proud to have him.
