DOCUMENTARY ON HISTORY OF CORK BOXING

A one-hour documentary film, which will comprehensively chart Cork boxing’s history, will be premiered early next year to coincide with the Cork Ex Boxers Association’s Golden Jubilee celebrations.

The film contains footage from many of the great fights from City Hall in the late 1940s and 1950s and footage from RTÉ’s 1960s series Ringside and Cork boxers preparing for the 1984,1988 and 1992 Olympics.

The film includes archive material of a segment by RTÉ with Brendan Mooney of the Irish Examiner featuring the Sunnyside BC and an outstanding interview with the famed coach of the club Albie Murphy.
