COLORADO SPRINGS, ভাঁজ. (ফেব্রুয়ারি 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ আইরিশ” and Boston boxing has been synonymous for more than a century, since the Irish first started emigrating to the United States in general, Boston in particular, পরমুহুর্তে Great Potato Famine.
Many Irish and Irish-American boxers have fought in the Greater Boston area, some born and others resettling there. This rich tradition continues next month in a different way when the three-city 2018 মার্কিন বনাম. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off সোমবার, মার্চ 12, at the newly renovated Royale Entertainment Complex in Boston’s famed theater district.

The tradition started back in the 19ম century with “The Boston Strongboy,” জন. এল. Sullivan (Roxbury, এম এ), the first millionaire American athlete, as well as the first “gloves” world heavyweight champion and final “bare knuckles” heavyweight champion of the world. An International Boxing Hall of Famer, Sullivan won 38 এর 38 প্রো মারামারি, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, জেক Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 কস), lived in Somerville and Quincy, both Boston suburbs. Kilrain (1829-1899) also reigned as world heavyweight champion.
Irish boxers from Greater Boston continued this rich tradition through the end of the 19ম and beginning of the 20ম centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 কস), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 কস), and Charlestown welterweight মাইক “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 কস), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 কস)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “আইরিশ” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 কস) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, কিন্তু, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight টম McNeeley (37-14, 28 কস), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion ফ্লয়েড প্যাটারসন, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident পিটার “হ্যারিকেন” McNeeley (47-7, 30 কস) famously was stopped in the opening round by “লোহা” মাইক Tyson in the latter’s first fight after his release from prison.
In the 1980’s, Irish boxers made their way to Boston to fight; some returned home after their careers, others relocated in the area. মধ্যে 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 কস), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to মাইক ম্যাককুলাম for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Middleweight World Championship.
স্টিভ “Celtic Warrior” Collins (25-2-1, 18 কস) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody এবং Pat Petronelli, who handled অবিশ্বাস্য মারভিন Hagler throughout is Hall of Fame career. Collins captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight and super middleweight world titles before moving back to Ireland.
Collins’ younger brother, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion কেভিন “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1, 29 কস), who went on to knock Tyson out and into retirement. McBride, who still lives in Dorchester, was a stablemate of former Team Ireland head coach and current Team USA head coach, বিলি ওয়ালশ, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, যথাক্রমে, মধ্যে 1988 এবং 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, Wayne “Pocket Rocket” McCullough (27-7, 18 কস), moved to Las Vegas from Northern Ireland. The luck of the Irish wasn’t with him in Boston in 1997, when he lost his World Boxing Council (WBC) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to ড্যানিয়েল Zaragoza.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and জ্যাক ডেম্পসি, is Lowell junior welterweight “আইরিশ” মিকি ওয়ার্ড (38-13, 27 কস), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with আর্তুরো Gatti, and the first boxer with more than 10 career losses to earn a $1-million purse. Ward’s life was portrayed by another Boston icon, actor Mark Wahlberg, in the award-winning movie, “The Fighter.”
Irish boxers are still coming to Boston to fight. Locally-based Murphys Boxing has promoted numerous shows in Boston featuring world-class boxers such as গ্যারি “গজাল” সুলিভান and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “ক্ষমতা” Doheny (18-0, 13 কস), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Sting” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion নিয়াল কেনেডি (10-0, 6 কস).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 বিশ্ব চ্যাম্পিয়নশিপ ব্রোঞ্জ পদকজয়ী ট্রয় Isley(আলেক্জান্দ্রি়া, ভিএ). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (Kemah, টেক্সাস), who won four international gold medals in 2017, 2016 যুব বিশ্ব চ্যাম্পিয়ন এবং 2017 এলিট কন্টিনেন্টাল চ্যাম্পিয়নশিপে রূপালী পদকপ্রাপ্ত, Delante জনসন (ক্লিভল্যান্ড, বিভাগ), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (Toledo, বিভাগ) এবং 2016 যুব বিশ্ব চ্যাম্পিয়নশিপ ব্রোঞ্জ পদকজয়ী এবং 2017 ইউ এস এ বক্সিং সুপার হেভিওয়েট ন্যাশনাল চ্যাম্পিয়ন, রিচার্ড Torrez (Tulare, যেমন). প্রতিটি শহরের জন্য একটি পূর্ণ পালা সফর শুরুর কাছাকাছি প্রকাশ করা হবে.
