Roberto Duran: “My dear Ricky Hatton, it hurts me so much to hear of your passing. You were always a gentleman and a great person. I enjoyed all your fights and I remember like it was yesterday the day I picked you up at Panama airport and took you for walks everywhere. I keep those moments, with your friendship and with the honor of having called you a friend. To your loving family I send you my deepest condolences, I share with them this pain because Ricky was more than a great champion, he was a true brother. May God have you in his glory. Forever my champion. Hands of Stone.”

- 𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝. 𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠. - The tragic brilliance of Nipper Pat Daly.

Nipper Pat Daly wasn’t just a boxing prodigy, he was a phenomenon. Born in 1913, he had over 100 amateur fights before he turned professional at just 10 years old. Under the watchful eye of manager Johnny Curley, Daly stepped into the paid ranks while still a child, and began beating fully grown men.

He was a natural. Sharp movement, precise counters, and the ring IQ of a seasoned veteran. By sixteen, newspapers were calling him the best pound-for-pound boxer in Britain. He was sparring world champions and outclassing contenders. He wasn’t good for his age, he was simply good.

But he was pushed too hard, too fast.

In just seven years, Daly had racked up over 100 professional fights. The brutal schedule, the level of opposition, and the physical toll broke him down. His final bout came in January 1931, just weeks before his 18th birthday. By seventeen, he was finished.

He never fought again.

But Daly never left the sport. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, he ran a boxing gym on New North Road in Shoreditch, East London, where he trained amateurs and professionals.

In later life, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, though he retained much of his memory for a time. He eventually retired to Hastings, East Sussex, where he passed away in 1988 at the age of 75.

Nipper Pat Daly’s story is one of dazzling talent, mismanaged potential, and quiet resilience. A boy who could have ruled the boxing world, if only the sport had let him grow up.

No surprise to us that all the talk lately is about boxing coach Andy Lee after recent Whittaker fight.
Andy’s cool headed approach to coaching might be good for boxers. Lately we have seen with his fighters they are showing great technical ability in the ring.
The limerick man travelled the world taught by the great Kronk coach Manny steward along with his understudys that in end earned Andy a world title.
Andy is fast becoming the most sought after coach in the world, it’s great that a good Irishman is passing on his knowledge to younger fighters and starting to get the praise again in boxing world ☘️ 🇮🇪 🥊

🥊 Deirdre Gogarty – Ireland’s Trailblazing Champion

Before Katie Taylor became a household name, there was Deirdre Gogarty—a determined fighter from Drogheda who helped carve out space for Irish women in the boxing world.

In the 1980s, women’s boxing wasn’t recognised in Ireland. So Gogarty trained quietly, fought for opportunities abroad, and eventually moved to the United States to pursue her dream. In 1997, she made history by becoming Ireland’s first female world boxing champion.

Her skill, courage, and persistence opened the door for future generations. One of her most talked-about fights—against Christy Martin—was a turning point for women’s boxing in the U.S., bringing new attention and legitimacy to the sport.

Though her story is less known at home, Gogarty’s legacy lives on in every Irish woman who steps into the ring. ☘️
