Thread: Any of the British members have some added info on Eamonn Magee charges

Could only find a limited amount of info on it...Thought maybe since this took place in the UK someone might have a bit more info...Not sure if it has been in the papers much etc....All I could find was he grabbed his lady by the hair tried to throw her down stairs got 12 months.....

Is there more to it? Is he known for this stuff? Has he been in trouble for this type thing before?

Just curious any added info will be appreciated

He had a spot of bother with one of his neighbours back when he was fighting which ended up with his neighbour and friends taking baseball bats to his legs. The doctors put his legs back together but told him he'd never fight again. but he managed. He was never the most mobile in the ring but the legs thing slowed him right down, I don't think he could do roadwork. He's got a scar on the side of his neck where somebody stuck something in at some point. He's definitely been a bit of a bad lad over the years.

I found two articles in a quick search, but I don't know if they answer your question.

I remember a good while ago he upset some guys from the IRA which is not the best thing to do.
