On Saturday night November 16, all roads will lead to the Deele Sports Pavilion Raphoe when the local boxing club will proudly host their 36th annual major tournament.
Over the years this show has become one of the highlights in the Donegal boxing calendar and once again club coaches Gary Mc Cullagh and Gerry Keaveney have pulled out all the stops to maintain this tradition as they have pencilled in 14 Star-studded bouts that will feature Irish and Ulster champions and many of Raphoe’s usual suspects.
The special guests on the night will be Tyrone’s Olympic duo the legendary light middleweight ring warrior from the Los Angeles Games in 1984 Tommy Corr and the Tyrone Tornado Jude Gallagher Two-Castles Olympic BC.
Club chairman Peter O’Donnell would like to thank their major sponsor local butcher and former standout welterweight puncher Ciaran Mc Cullagh and all the generous business people of Raphoe and surrounding areas who have helped keep the doors open and the lights on in the local boxing club for the past 36 years.
