The Lost Soul of Eamonn Magee by Paul Gibson
A dramatic life story of the boxers sporting success combined with violence, tragedy and addiction. Reads like the screenplay of the kind of gritty rags-to-riches-to-rags boxing story that Hollywood producers seem to love.
Paul Gibson is a journalist whose work appears regularly in The Guardian, The Belfast Telegraph and Boxing Monthly, amongst many others. His first book, an autobiography of the UFC fighter Dan Hardy, was released in March 2017. Eamonn Magee grew up in the Ardoyne area of Belfast and is a former professional boxer. He held the Commonwealth light welterweight title twice, and challenged for the European light welterweight and British welterweight titles. He is a veteran of the Irish and European professional fight scenes and fought out of the Breen Gym in Belfast, where he now works as an assistant trainer to John Breen.
