WBU welterweight champion Eamonn Magee will make a miraculous return to boxing this year after a terrible attack threatened to end his boxing career. The man who once caused a sensation in a British ring by decking Ricky Hatton in the first round of their fight suffered a diabolical attack at the hands of thugs in his home of Ireland in the late hours of a |
March night last year. Magee withstood a vicious beating and sustained massive leg injuries before he could be brought to a hospital for treatment. During the initial stages of his recovery, Magee began to concede that his boxing career was over and gradually, he was told by a procession of doctors and experts that he would never fight again. But the tough Irishman would not be denied and soon began to fight his ailments as furiously as he did his ring opponents. Magee's return marks a spectacular victory for a remarkable fighter, in and out of the ring. We will keep you updated to the latest developments as they happen in this story.
