	'''Noel Magee''' is a former Commonwealth Light Heavyweight ~~Champion; stopping~~ [[~~Garry Delaney~~]] for the title in May 1995 and ~~losing it~~ the ~~following September~~ to [[Nicky ~~Piper~~]].

			'''Noel Magee''' (born 16 December 1965 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a former professional boxer and former Commonwealth Light Heavyweight Title holder. Magee fought at Super Middleweight but also fought as a Light Heavyweight and Cruiserweight towards the end of his career.

			==Background
			Magee grew up in the strongly nationalist Ardoyne area of Belfast and came from a boxing obsessed family. Magee's younger brother [[Eamonn Magee\|Eamonn]] stated that for his mother "boxing was as important as school". Magee's three brothers were also boxers with two of them, Eamonn and [[Terry Magee\|Terry]], having careers as professional boxers. His brother, Eamonn, was also a Commonwealth champion.

			==Amateur career==
			Magee, like his younger brother Eamonn, boxed to national level for Ireland. The highlight of his short amateur career was in 1985 when, at the age of nineteen, he won the Irish Light Heavyweight Title, defeating a young [[Steve Collins]] in the final. Magee again beat Collins later that year in a trial for the international team.

			==Professional career==
			Still only 19 years of age, Magee on 22 May 1985, turned professional under the mentorship of Pat Brogan, winning his first fight at the European Sporting Club, Stoke, England, in which Magee knocked out [[Nigel Prickett]].

			===Title fight defeats===
			It was four years before he fought for his title fight when he took on fellow Belfastman [[Sam Storey]] in November 1989 for the British Super Middleweight Title, however he lost this fight when the referee stopped the fight in the 9th round. After this loss Magee went on a winning streak beating his next seven opponents before he again fought for another this time the British Light Heavyweight Title against [[Maurice Core]] in August 1992 but the result was the same, Magee, was stopped in the ninth despite having Core down twice during the fight. Magee's following fight was also a defeat, this time at the hands of Dariusz Michalczewski for the Vacant IBF Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Title. Magee also lost his challenge for the European (EBU) Light Heavyweight Title against [[Fabrice Tiozzo]].

			===Commonwealth title victory===
			After this series of title fight defeat Magee was becoming disillusioned with boxing and had informed his promoter [[Barney Eastwood]] that he was considering a changing promoters.

			The following week Eastwood lined up a fight with the then unbeaten Commonwealth Light Heavyweight Title holder [[Garry Delaney]]. The fight took place in May 1995 at the Festival Hall, Basildon, Essex, England. Magee was a huge underdog with the bookies offering odds of 10/1 for a Magee win. Magee made his superior hand and foot speed tell by winning the fight with a stoppage in the seventh to take the only major title belt in his professional career.

			Magee lost his first defense of his title to [[Nicky Pipe]]r and after this Magee lost his will to continue boxing and two years later after a brief two fight comeback including a lose to [[Darren Corbett]] for the Irish Cruiserweight Title, Magee retired from boxing.
