Boxing in Donegal: A history’, written by Donegal-based sportswriter and author Chris McNulty, explores the foundations of the sport in Donegal and deals with its growth and development in the decades prior to 1950, when an organised structure was put in place.
The County Donegal Boxing Board, under the Presidency of Dr JP McGinley, was founded on September 18, 1950, at a meeting in St Conal’s Hospital, Letterkenny, and the first recorded tournament under the new Board’s auspices was 70 years ago, in March 1951.
‘Boxing in Donegal: A history’ is written in conjunction with the County Donegal Boxing Board and endorsed by the IABA and the Ulster Boxing Council.
