Pierce O'Leary
Irish Rising Star
Bio
Pierce O'Leary is one of the most exciting young prospects in Irish boxing. A slick southpaw operating at super lightweight, O'Leary combines sharp boxing skills with genuine fight-changing power. He's been tipped for big things ever since turning professional and has been steadily building an impressive unbeaten record.
O'Leary recently produced the performance of his career with a stunning, one-sided destruction of experienced contender Maxi Hughes — a fight that announced him as a serious player at 140lbs. What makes his story even more compelling is his admission that he nearly walked away from boxing entirely before that career-best night. Ireland has a rich tradition of world-class fighters, and O'Leary looks like the next in a proud lineage.
