@zelfaflash
I wish you well champ. I'll be back! ⚡
Masterclass my bollocks, fear tactics, on your bike son, hit & hold boxing rotten, like the old school amateur computer boxing. I will say it was a very disciplined performance but ugly as fxxk and AJ is not as good as he's made out to be by the media and sky sports pundits.
There were days when I couldn't get out of the bed due to depression. Now I'm starting my day with a 10K run on Termonfeckin beach Co. Louth. I'm a free man today, living life to the absolute fullest, no crutches, just genuine love and zest! 😍
Have a great day folks! 😁
Sometimes in life, dreams do come true✨️I'm still on a high from Sat night. A massive thanks to everyone who made this night extra special, my family, team, supporters, sponsors &
@SportTG4
I am so happy & extremely proud. European Champion 💪🏼 Never give up on your dreams ⚡️
After many years of falling down and slipping up - I'm finally winning at life - I've married the love of my life

you were just too good champ. I'm gutted that I couldn't come away with a better result, but I have no regrets, I would do again in a flash. Thanks to my family, my team, my sponsors & my fans. ❤
A % of our country will have to set their alarm clocks, another % will remain awake, but every one of us will tune in to
@RTEsport
from 5.30am tomorrow morning to watch one of our own fight in the Olympic Final, the pinnacle of amateur sport. Go n-éirí leat Kellie Harrington 🥊🇮🇪
What a great send off today, we are ready for the UK and

Hi
@EddieHearn
you have a lot of shows on every year
@DAZN_USA
if you could offer me a fight with any Featherweight I'll gladly take it. Just try to keep me in mind please. Thanks in advance, the things some boxers have to do to be heard.
I think some ppl need a lesson in how to score a round of boxing. I think some commentators also need that lesson. How can ppl stand over thier viewpoint that Serrano won that fight is beyond me. She was outboxed for most of the fight
#TaylorSerrano
And Still, The Greatest 🇮🇪💚🥊
My Mammy is 60 years old today and instead of celebrating with her family, she's at home battling Covid_19. This is no joke guys, please continue to adhere to the safety guidelines and soon we can all get back to spending quality time with our loved ones.❤❤
So there ya have it folks, it's official, I'll make my
@SkySportsBoxing
debut on the 14th of August. I can't thank
@MARKHDUNLOP
enough for delivering this fantastic opportunity. The Lilywhite Lightning vs The Brown Flash, I reckon there's gonna be a flash of Lightning baby! 👊🏻⚡
I'm delighted to share this fantastic news with you all. I have secured the position and my next fight will be for the EU European Title. The full details TBC on July 6th. I am absolutely buzzin for this opportunity. Thanks for the great support as always.🥊⚡️
If you take a line of coke or a bag of coke at the weekend or any day of the week.. and still have a functioning family, a car, a job, a home & think life isn't actually too bad for u. Well think again, you are contributing to the gangland violence on the street. Say NO to drugs!
We have a fight. Donovan v Ramirez is going down tomorrow night for 10rds of boxing live on
@SkySportsBoxing
and ESPN in US. Thanks to everyone back home, family, fans and sponsors for all the love and support. I am humbled and extremely proud! 🙏🇮🇪❤

No12, over and out. Ultimate Hell Week was a once in a lifetime experience, I was tested to the core of my soul. I feel fortunate to have shared it with 19 brilliant recruits and made some lifelong friends. Congrats to No1, No4 & No7,u guys fully deserve to pass the course 👏🏽1/2
Having a bad day ?
Think about
@dennis_h_hogan
who gave a masterclass performance against d world champ in Mexico last night. A performance that should have put him in the history books as one of the greatest away wins of any boxer ever! The crooks of the game took it front him👎🏻
I've been dying to share this news.
I took part in
@rteone
Ultimate Hell Week with a bunch of absolute legends. It was one of the toughest, craziest, most beautiful things I've ever done in my entire life. I think you're gonna love it, it's a must watch. Ep1 Sep 7th
@motivetele
After a long time & constant hard work,
@ericdonovanbox
dreams finally came true. What an inspiration! We couldn't be any prouder of Eric ❤️ He is the greatest person I know & everybody got to see the warrior he is & the depth of his character last night. The European Champion ⚡️
Taylor by 3, exactly how I scored it. What a display of skill, guts and courage on the highest level. Katie had to dig to the depths of her soul in those middle rounds to find the answers. An action that has made this victory all the more sweeter

Wishing these two legends the absolute best of Irish luck tomorrow as they lead our national St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin.

Thankfully, I lived to tell the tale and witness her delivering an absolute masterclass in her Olympic Final.
What a fucking achievement
@TjDoheny
take a bow son, the new IBF junior featherweight champion of the world. Enjoy the celebrations pal, 3 current Irish world boxing champions, boxing is dead eh? 😂
This isn't sport. It's disgusting and it's wrong. I don't like it, but unfortunately there's an appetite for this kind of shit out there. What springs to mind is, cock fighting, dog fighting etc. Not a sport, not a skill and not a discipline.
In Croke Park now for the Leinster Final, Kildare v Dublin. So I dropped by to say hello and best of luck to Kellie's parents Yvonne and Christy Harrington. Two absolute gems, full of pride & hope. You could feel the positive energy and spirit around Portland Row

For people in recovery, it's easy to lose sight, but remember that every day spent without having a drink, a drug, a bet, etc. is a successful day.
Arranging my diary for upcoming talks around Ireland about areas of life I'm passionate about. Health, Wellbeing & Education. 🙏❤
Spoken like a true Champion, what can you do sure. Take it on the chin and move onwards, excuse the pun folks but that's really all you can do. This applies to all aspects of life!
Wow 9-0 baby, but most importantly the new Irish Featherweight Champ. Thanks to all my team, fans & sponsors, I've got serious support. McAfee deserves a lot of credit, big respect to him. Big kudos to

We came for the win and we got it. Job done, we finish 2020 the way we started it... winning!! I'm really excited about 2020 and what my team have in store for me.
Now, I'm looking forward to spending Christmas with my family. The support I receive is incredible, thank you! ❤⚡
Delighted to get some great news on the last day of what was a horrible year. Having been made mandatory for the EBU European Union Title. I'm moving one step closer to making a dream become a reality!

We've finally moved into wedding month. I think it's safe to say (after two false starts) we're actually gonna get married this time. This is a very exciting & special time for the both of us💒
I cannot wait to see my stunning bride to be walk down the aisle and become my wife❤
Happy First Wedding Anniversary to my darling wife
@lauralfc
what a whirlwind 12mths it's been and was topped off last week with the most beautiful gift, the birth of baby Saoirse 🥰 we're spending most of the day changing nappies, but we wouldn't change it for the world 💖
His impression on Hearn and the unacquainted UK public — not only last night, but all week — was so pronounced that it is exceedingly likely Eric Donovan’s first loss will provide only a middle chapter, and not the final pages, to his uplifting story.
I cannot thank
@MARKHDUNLOP
enough for securing this opportunity for me. I am also extremely grateful to
@MatchroomBoxing
for the chance to be involved in a massive fight on a fantastic platform. The time is near, much love and best wishes to all my team and supporters. ❤🙏
We should have been getting married today in this beautiful part of Spain. Life has a way of throwing curve balls at you, the best thing you can do is bob and weave and keep moving forward! Tiocfaidh ár lá ❤
Thanks to the people of Drogheda Rural for electing me to represent you. It's one of the greatest honours ever bestowed upon me. I couldn't have done it without your support or the support of all my family and election team. Go raibh maith agaibh uilig. 🇮🇪💚

As a very basic Irish speaker, I'm determined to eventually get it. I'd love to see one big gigantic national relentless effort towards making Ireland speak as Gaeilge. The most beautiful language in the world. Imagine that?

With my son Jack after his first boxing bout last night in Kilcullen. So delighted for this kid, he showed great courage & strength to get the win. A special and a very proud moment ❤

Taking a little break on my holidays to share some exciting fight news.
@MARKHDUNLOP
informed me this morning that my amazing sponsorship team won the bid to host my EU European Title Fight in Ireland.
The date, location & venue to follow. I'm feeling very grateful today❤️⚡️
I'm delighted to hear you're tackling these insurance companies Pearse.
Look, I'm the current Irish Professional Boxing Champion and I can't even box in the republic of Ireland due to insurance prices. My last 3 fights since I became Champ have been in London, Glasgow & Belfast.
One insurance company FBD is reporting that it doubled their profits up to a staggering €100 million while buisness, motorists and farmers are being fleeced. Time to end the Insurance Rip-off.
What a day, we did it for Dan and we raised lot's of money. I cannot thank all you people enough and I couldn't have done it without you and my family. Finally, I want to wish the Donoher family the very best of luck with little Dan's treatment.
🙏❤
Honestly, I don't think the poppy should be involved in any sport, nor sure there be any symbol that involves politics
The poppy represents all the military personnel who have died during battle/war.
War is started by politics & governments so sport & politics should never mix.
Wow, what a night. Thank you to all the fans for making last night another special occasion. Kudos to Reyes my opponent who fought gallantly & courageously. Featherweights or Super Featherweights come out from behind the curtains and fight!! 😂
Next please, I'll be retiring soon!
I'm gonna miss

it's sad to see it's going to be over after tonight... I would love for another series of F/C to happen in the final quarter of the year. Long live Fight Camp! 👊🏻

My first proper road trip as a professional boxer starts this morning. Let's fkn do this, London bound to go 10-0, it's not too bad for a lad that was wrote off more times than a 1980's Morris Minor 😂
Taking it all in my stride, grateful!❤

Sorry to say but my fight is off the card here in Belgium. The team tried hard to get a replacement but time too short especially with all the covid19 protocols etc. Not to worry, I'll help my coach & team-mates out. Thanks for all the support, bigger things on the horizon. 👊🏻⚡

Hi folks, I just want to say a massive thank you for the overwhelming positive response to my interview on
@offtheball
last night.
Part of my work is sharing my story, "Aspiration becomes Reality" so pls get in touch if you'd like to have me come speak at your school or company.
It's an awful tragedy when someone dies as a result of homelessness in the year 2024. Homelessness is no joke. Ann, a trained nurse who fell on hard times, lost her life today on the streets of Dublin. RIP Ann 🙏💔

From the boxing ring to the classroom. 🥊📚
I made a promise to myself to finish college when I hung up the gloves. Tomorrow, I begin that promise. 🙏
A different kind of blood, sweat, and tears await me now. 😊
I am the Featherweight Champion of Ireland. I'm very proud 😊
Soon I am going to be Champion of Europe.
I'm going to be involved in massive domestic and international fights. You're going to enjoy the next 12 to 18 months of my career. 👊🏻⚡
I'm not shackled anymore - I'm free!
So it's a guarantee that the Lilywhite Lightning will fight in Kildare in 2019. The first time a pro show will be held in the county in over 100 years.
Hmmm!!!
Tasty! 👊🏻⚡
I'd like to say thank you to every fan who travelled from near and far. To my sponsors for their support. Andy Lee for his guidance and commitment. 6 and 0 baby. Bring on 2018 for more special memories. L L ⚡
Over 2 presentations this morning, I spoke to 1,700 students about education, adversity, boxing, Olympics, addiction, mental health, wellbeing, recovery and resilience.
1,700 students!!!
Today was a special day 🙏
Thanks to all, never give up on your dreams!👊🏼⚡️
@MaynoothPPS
I've had a taste of the big time and I'm hungry for more. My two full weeks of rest are almost up, time to get active again. There's only so much thinking and eating you can do and we all know you can't just think/eat your way to your goals, you must act it & live it every day!⚡
Muireann Bradley, from Donegal, got a standing ovation for an outstanding performance tonight on THE Jools Holland Annual Hootenanny Show on BBC..
What an incredible young singer who is also a talented boxer. 👊🏼🔥
#Hootenanny
I'll be back in a big one in 6 weeks time. I'm just reflecting on and appreciating my journey and the people who helped me along the way. Thanks for supporting!👊🏻⚡❤
Warming up my son Jack before his first fight last week. His response to my, "how was your first day at school as an undefeated boxer question" Jack: "it was just a normal day, but it did feel a bit cooler" 😎😆
What a victory and what a performance from my fellow Kildare & Irish man
