When we look through the history of boxing there are numerous legendary Irish names that feature prominently in both amateur AND paid ranks. Despite the highs and lows of a domestic scene, the peaks and troughs of popularity and support - there are still a couple of authentic, hard working & honest outposts. Gyms where folk can go to train for whatever fight they face next.
For Keane McMahon, Ryan O’Rourke & John Cooney the fights are on high profile cards on a Star Boxing show in New York, or the Europa hotel in Belfast. For others - it’s a personal fight, a battle to get fit or a fight that nobody knows about.
Regardless of the battle - O'Rourke's Gym is one of those authentic boxing gyms where pros, amateurs & keep fit fanatics all spill blood, sweat & tears under the watchful guise of the experienced Stephen O’Rourke.
Have a listen as Al & Ian hear some of the many stories & get up close and personal at O'Rourke's Gym in Dublin.
