Ireland Boxing: The Latest News, Fighters and Upcoming Bouts
Welcome to the Ireland boxing hub on British Boxing Hub. If you love a good fight and want to keep up with Irish talent, you’re in the right spot. From rising prospects to seasoned champions, we break down what’s happening now and what’s coming up.
Irish boxing has a gritty reputation. The gyms in Dublin, Belfast and Cork churn out tough, technically sound fighters who love a good showdown. That grit shows up in every bout, whether it’s a local club night or a headline fight in London. Fans appreciate the raw passion and the fact that many Irish boxers fight on the same cards as British stars.
Top Irish Fighters to Watch
One name you’ll hear a lot is Michael Conlan. The feather‑featherweight has a knockout punch and a sharp jab that makes him a constant threat. Conlan’s recent wins have put him on the radar for a world title shot, and he’s already booked for a UK tour later this year.
Another hot prospect is Claudia Firpo, a rising star in the women’s bantamweight division. Firpo’s footwork is quick, and she’s racking up victories against European opponents. Her next fight is scheduled in Manchester, and it will be a great chance for British fans to see her in action.
Don’t forget about the veteran Kieran “The Irish Hammer” McCarthy. At 35, McCarthy still packs power and is eyeing a comeback fight against a UK challenger. His experience makes every bout a learning moment for younger Irish boxers watching from the sidelines.
Upcoming Ireland‑UK Fight Schedule
Here’s a quick look at the fights you can mark on your calendar:
- July 12 – Dublin: Conlan vs. French newcomer at the 3Arena. Expect a fast‑paced fight with plenty of action.
- August 5 – Manchester: Firpo vs. England’s rising talent at the Manchester Arena. A perfect showcase for women’s boxing.

All three events will be streamed live on our site, so you won’t miss a single round. We also provide post‑fight analysis, so you can see what went right and where the fighters can improve.
