Former World Champions praise rings in Brandon McCarthy ears as he closes in on fight #3

By Owain Comerford

Fresh off a comprehensive unanimous decision victory over Ryan Schwartzberg three weeks ago, LA-based Kilkenny boxer, Brandon McCarthy (2-0-0) announced heā€™ll be returning to the ring on the 21stĀ of August with ProBox TV.

The 16 Time National Champion is wasting no time, having just made his pro debut in March, McCarthy told Irish-boxing.com: ā€œI definitely want to be staying busy in my early days, learning and growing with each fightā€ before following with ā€œby the time I take the step up for titles I have that experience and regularly active as well

ā€œI just signed a two year deal with ProBox TV, so Iā€™ll be working on building my career with themā€ clearly hungry and determined to stay active McCarthy followed with ā€œwhenever they want me to fight, or whoever they want me to fight, Iā€™m easy.ā€

Epitomising an ā€˜Anyone, Anytime, any placeā€™ mentality, the fighting pride of North Kilkenny said ā€œthereā€™s nothing on an opponent yet, as I said Iā€™m signed with ProBox and if youā€™ve seen their cards, there is no easy fightsā€ before stating ā€œIā€™m sure whoever I have next will be in to win, but Iā€™ll do what I do bestā€

Reflecting on his previous win against an opponent who, albeit was technically levels below McCarthy, the former St Michaelā€™s Athy man stated ā€œit was great to get the 6 rounds in, that guy had 21 pro fights, these so called journeymen in the US donā€™t come to collect a paycheck, they come to cause an upsetā€ following with ā€œI knew what I was up against, and knew not to take anyone lightly.ā€

Seasoned and highly accoladed as an amateur, McCarthy was the receiver of high praise from former World Champions, Chris Algieri and Paulie Malignaggi, responding with ā€œthey can see the talent and hard work, so itā€™s great to hear that only 2 fights into my pro careerā€.

Brandonā€™s return to the ring will be exclusively streamed on ProBox TV, Irish fans can expect to watch the ā€˜Return of The Macā€™ at around 1:00 AM Irish time on the 21st of August.
