'More than a retirement fight' - Irish fighter will box for final time on St Patrick's night

Former World and European champion Ray Moylette is set to pack the TF Royal Royal in Castlebar on St Patrick's night for one last time.

The Islandeady man who was one of the best amateur boxers ever produced on these shores will take on a very credible, yet unnamed, opponent on a night when the top stars of Irish boxing will come to Castlebar to show off their skills. Among those in the ring on March 17 will be Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan and Thomas Carty, two household names.

Moylette is excited about the event and describes it as 'One last dance.'

"In what's set to be my last dance of my boxing journey, this is more than a retirement fight; it's a celebration of boxing. I'm looking forward to facing an opponent who will challenge me to the utmost, ensuring a memorable and impactful finale."

Platform Sports who are promoting the event have promised to announce another big name for the event in the coming days and say, "The name will be so significant it will create waves within the boxing community and beyond."

The big fight takes place on Sunday, March 17 and tickets are priced at €65 for general admission and €100 ringside. They're available now from Eventbrite.ie, or by contacting 087 7665307.
