The Clare Champion Clare news, sport, entertainment and local notes
ENNIS boxer Paddy Donovan had been due to have his sixth professional fight in the UK on Friday week, but it is now set to happen next month.
“The fight that was to be on January 22 had to be cancelled because of Covid, there’s no boxing being held in the UK, the British Boxing Board of Control have suspended all boxing. It looks like he’s going to be fighting on February 19, in the UK again,” his trainer and manager Andy Lee said.
At present no opponent has been finalised.
The 22 year old Donovan has won all of his first five contests, three by way of knockout and is widely seen as an outstanding prospect.
