Champion of Ireland

"This certificate belongs to my Dad. In his first year of boxing he was Louth, Leinster and All Ireland champion. When I was growing up, many adults would comment on what a great boxer my Dad was, he had left a lasting impression on many people. I had always guessed he had stopped as an adult, when in fact he only boxed for two years due to his bad eyesight. This certificate shows my Dad at the peak of his boxing career...aged 11. "
