About this product

Product Information

The amazing story of Ireland's best amateur boxing heavyweight who never made it to pro. In a long and illustrious career that included fights against eventual World Champions of the calibre of Lewis, Collins and Seldon, Big Joe Egan never did bridge that gap from top-ranked amateur to professional. A four-year spell in New York saw the promising teenager invited to train, spar and live at Mike Tyson's training camp in the Catskill Mountains with the late Cus d'Amato. Joe was dumped by his fiancee, Lisa Murphy, who became the long-term lover of River Dance multi-millionaire hoofer Michael Flatley. Their amorous rivalry came to a head in a showdown dubbed Lord of the Ring v Lord of the Dance by the press. Then Egan took the opportunity to run a pub in Birmingham and was shot by men from an organised protection racket. Egan was charged with attempted murder. The charges were dropped, only for him to be later convicted for a luxury car ringing scam run from his pub.
