Martin to qualify for Paris Olympics 2024
Donation protected
My name is Martin McDonagh and I hail from Tuam in County Galway. I am 20 years of age, a proud Irish traveller and living at home with my mother, Winnie, my father John and my siblings, Edward, William, Teresa, John, Tom, Martin, Winiferd, Mike, Ellen and Brigid. I have always had a love for boxing and trained regularly with my father and brothers. I first stepped into a boxing ring at the Galway Boxing Club in 2021 and fell in love with the challenges. From that day until this, I know that I want to achieve as much as I can in the amateur circle and ultimately to go forward and box for my country, Ireland. My first boxing match was as a Superheavyweight Connaught novice, result win. My second was Superheavyweight novice Irish title, result win. My third was Superheavyweight Celtic Box Cup, result win. My fourth, Superheavyweight U22 Irish, result win. My fifth was Superheavyweight Eindhoven Box Cup, (unable to compete in final due to eye injury), result Silver medal. My sixth was the Superheavyweight Irish Senior title, result win. My seventh was Superheavyweight Irish Senior Elite title, result win. My goal is to box for the Irish Boxing team as Superheavyweight and qualify for Paris Olympics 2024. In order to do this I need sponsorship and funding. My next obligation to achieve my goal is to travel with the Elite Irish team for a 10 day training camp to Tenerife to prepare for my first qualifier. Any help received will be greatly appreciated and once again, I'd like to appeal for a sponsor who will take a chance on a talented young Irish traveller.
