McCarthy set to pack a punch as GAA star steps into ring

DUAL All-Ireland winner Teddy McCarthy, yesterday embarked on an eight-week quest that will end in a boxing ring at the Citywest Hotel, where Ireland’s first White Collar Boxing Show will be staged on November 4.

“It’s not about the destination it’s about the journey,” insisted organiser Cathal O’Grady, the former Irish senior champion who boxed in the Atlanta Olympics.

“I am sure everybody at some stage must have wanted to climb into a boxing ring and we have offered them this opportunity through White Collar Boxing and it is amazing the people who have come forward.”
