Hopes are high that any obstacles can be overcome and the popular event can go ahead on September 2-3

Sitting at 7-0 in the professional ranks, the 24-year-old former Oakleaf Boxing Club amateur standout says he’s keen to get his body right before stepping through the ropes again.

“Having a bit of a rest and recharge at the minute, letting a few injuries I picked up in my last couple of fights recover,” McGinty said.

“I’ve veen offered a few fight dates over the summer, but unfortunately it was too soon so better to leave it until I’m fully ready.”
