Conor McGregor wowed the gathered crowd in his old stomping ground, Crumlin Boxing Club, when he returned to the venue for the club’s annual “Good Friday Boxing Show” last weekend.
A former competitor for the south inner city gym, “The Notorious” was a surprise addition to the card and took to the ring against Micheal McGrane in the main event. The pair contested an exhibition, which was deemed a draw in the interest of ceremony after the final bell had rung.
Irish boxing legend and two-time Olympian Phil Sutcliffe Sr., a former coach of McGregor’s from his boxing days from the ages of 11 to 17 in Crumlin, explained how McGregor’s inclusion at the 27th annual fund-raising event came about from an impromptu training session days before the action took place.
