Boxer Egan to speak of his drink and porn fight

Olympic boxing hero Kenny Egan will speak openly at a workshop in Cork today about his recovery from addiction to porn, booze, and escort girls.

Egan, who hit rock bottom after captaining the Irish boxing squad at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, will address an addiction forum organised by the Cork-based Traveller Visibility Group’s (TVG) support project on drugs and alcohol.

He will be accompanied by his mother, Maura, who helped him on his road to recovery.
