O'Neill: Sutherland still an inspiration
Team Ireland's boxing captain Darren O’Neill says the memory of tragic former middleweight rival Darren Sutherland will inspire the six-strong team to emulate Sutherland’s Olympic heroics at the London Games.
Sutherland was found dead in his London flat just one year after returning from Beijing with a bronze medal, and the death of such a popular character continues to have a profound impact on the close-knit Irish boxing community.
