By Brendan Galbraith – 2011 is already a big year in the making for Irish boxing with Brian Magee and Paul McCloskey both challenging for World Titles and Willie ‘Big Bang’ Casey fighting for a World ‘Interim’ title. This is symptomatic of the rise in Irish boxing. And a quick glance at the number of Irish boxing promotions reveals that they have tripled in the last decade.
