The tradition started back in the 19වන century with “The Boston Strongboy,” ජෝන්. උසස් පෙළ. Sullivan (Roxbury, එම්.ඒ.), 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 පිළිබඳ 38 ගැති සටන්, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, වරයකු වන Jake Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 Kos), 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 19වන and beginning of the 20වන centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 Kos), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 Kos), and Charlestown welterweight මයික් “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 Kos), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 Kos)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “අයර්ලන්ත” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 Kos) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, කෙසේ වෙතත්, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight ටොම් McNeeley (37-14, 28 Kos), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion ෆ්ලොයිඩ් පැටර්සන්, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident පීටර් “සුළි කුණාටු” McNeeley (47-7, 30 Kos) famously was stopped in the opening round by “යකඩ” රගර් 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. දී 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 Kos), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to මයික් මැකලම් for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Middleweight World Championship.
ස්ටීව් “Celtic Warrior” Collins (25-2-1, 18 Kos) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody හා Pat Petronelli, who handled අසිරිමත් මර්වින් 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 කෙවින් “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1, 29 Kos), 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, බිලී වොල්ෂ්, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, පිළිවෙලින්, දී 1988 හා 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, Wayne “Pocket Rocket” McCullough (27-7, 18 Kos), 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 (බෙ) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to දානියෙල් සැරගෝසා වට.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and ජැක් ඩෙම්ප්සේ, is Lowell junior welterweight “අයර්ලන්ත” Micky වෝඩ් (38-13, 27 Kos), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with ආටූරෝ 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 ගැරී “ස්පයික්” O'Sullivan and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “විදුලිබල” Doheny (18-0, 13 Kos), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Sting” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 Kos).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
