Amateur Career

"I had between 50 and 60 fights and lost about a dozen. I won All Ireland titles at Juvenile, Intermediate, Under 19 and Under 21 level, plus an Ulster Senior title. I was due to face Carl Frampton in the final but Carl withdrew to turn pro. In my first senior year I lost in the Ulster Championships to Frampton, when I was about 18. I must have boxed internationally about 20 times at multi-nations and I got to the final of the European Union championships in Serbia which was a pretty big thing at the time; probably the highlight of my amateur career. I got beaten by Michael Maguire from England who was a very good boxer.
