Joseph Duffy: ‘I have been fighting all my life.’

Joseph Duffy was one of European MMA’s rising stars when he made the brief switch to professional boxing in 2013. Now 28, he has taken the UFC by storm since his first fight last March and he will headline Fight Night 77 in Dublin’s 3Arena on October 24.

Though born in Donegal, Duffy spent most of his childhood in Wales. He is the last man to have defeated Conor McGregor as well as Antrim’s Norman Parke in the octagon - a double he achieved in 2010.
