He is a five-time Irish National Champion who has more than 150 amateur matches, including a victory over Belfast’s Carl “Ang iro nga ihalas” Frampton (26-1, 14 KOs), who is a two-division world champion as a professional fighter.

Neither of Claggett’s titles will be at stake versus O’Connor.
Many people are under the impression that I’ve been brought in as a B-side opponent for this match up, but that couldn’t be further from the truth,” the non-stop Claggett explained. “We selected Danny O’Connor shortly after my last fight in October and have worked tirelessly to make it happen. I’m looking forward to facing someone who fights moving forwards. Nobody is going to try and tap dance on St. Patrick’s Day.
Much like his last fight this past October, in which he traveled to Montreal and Ulysse, Jr. diha sa iyang luyo, Montreal, Claggett is fighting in his opponent’s backyard again, only this time against a popular Irish-American in Boston on St. Patrick Adlaw sa.
