Today i've made the decision to announce my retirement from boxing after an amazing twenty one years training and fighting and living my dreams.
I could never have imagined my life without boxing however after a well needed break and plenty of time to reflect on my career, life, my son James and my partner Oonagh I have made a very tough decision to call it a day
Having surpassed my expectations by achieving a lot more in boxing than what i could ever have imagined, starting as a young kid with a bad temper to fighting for world titles, packed arenas and winning 8 titles along my journey.
I started with a loyal team who included my manager and mentor Mark Dunlop and my coaches Tony Dunlop and Daniel Boyle and together we plotted and carried out some amazing victories in both the home and away corners and it is with great pride today we finish together.
A special mention must be given to Eddie Hearn, Matchroom Boxing, DAZN& Sky Sports who along with Mark and Paul McClean of A McCleans Bookmakers and Damian Auld of Auld Dental Laboratory & Ralph Mckay who helped guide my career and without them none of the above would have been possible.
My advice to any young person with ambition and drive would be, you will loose one hundred percent of the chances you don't take in life, get a good team around you and chase your dreams.
Thanks for the support i have received from everyone over the years forever grateful for having you all as part of my journey
