Brian Magee, Ryan Burnett, Eamonn Magee and Tyrone McKenna feature in this BBC Northern Ireland documentary, discussing boxing and their lives after their careers (or plans for them). It's short but I enjoyed it a lot. Available on the iPlayer.

What are Burnett and B Magee doing now?

Decent watch that. Eamonn Magee I could listen to all day. Captivating individual I wish him well as he’s had some life.

Good watch, thanks!

Enjoyed that, thanks for posting

Brian did alright for himself out of boxing, had an excellent manager in Pat Magee as well doing the negotiations. He now runs Magee Health and Fitness in west Belfast. He's a top fella.

great to hear.

Brian was a world class amateur, prob a touch short of world class highlighted by early nights against Bute, Kessler and Froch and a cluster of knockdowns against Reid.
Despite being competitive at that level, he was content staying in his comfort zone defending his IBO title against the usual suspects in an assortment of leisure centres at his peak.
Demonstrating him being clever enough to understand what a dirty game this can be

I enjoyed that.
