'BARRY MCGUIGAN'
FORMER FEATHERWIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
Sporting Dinner at the Premier Inn
Newbridge Street, Newcastle NE1 8BS
Saturday 31st March 2012 :: 6.45 for 7.15 pm dinner

"Fighting Talk" Promotions in association with Bilton Hall ABC proudly present a Sporting Dinner featuring former Featherwight Champion of the World Barry McGuigan - 'The Clones Cyclone' as special guest speaker. You will be guaranteed a good night’s entertainment for yourself and your colleagues!

Undisputedly, Barry McGuigan was one of the best boxers of his generation. As an amateur he won a multitude of titles, at the tender age of 17 he took the gold medal at the 1978 Commonwealth Games and as a Professional he won the British, European and World Titles. On a memorable, balmy night in June 1985, a television audience of twenty million watched as McGuigan achieved his dream and became Featherweight Champion of the World by defeating Eusebio Pedroza, voted ‘Fight of the Year’ by British Boxing Board of Control. His amazing performance later captured him another title of BBC Sports Personality of the Year. McGuigan was voted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 2000 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005.

McGuigan’s popularity transcended the sport of boxing and his fights became family occasions, uniting people across sectarian and religious divides during a troubled time in the country’s political history. A Catholic, Barry married his Protestant childhood sweetheart, Sandra Mealiff in 1981. An Irishman, he fought for the British Title, his boxing shorts the colours of the United Nation’s Flag of Peace and rather than an anthem his father sang ‘Danny Boy’ on many emotionally charged occasions before a fight.

Engaging and intelligent, McGuigan’s heritage and incredible career during the most difficult of circumstances make him a renowned and much sought after speaker

Due to limited capacity of the venue only 200 tickets are available, and are only £35 each which includes a 3-course dinner an entertainment. To book please call or text me on 07752 515280.
