For OTB AM, Andy Lee sat down with Seamus McDonagh, an Irish boxer with a pretty incredible story.

McDonagh was a former World No.3 Cruiserweight, and has had some journey over the past thirty years!

In 1990 when buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson and derailed a Tyson / Holyfield mega fight McDonagh was drafted in to be Evander Holyfield’s next opponent.

Outside of the ring he battled with alcoholism and lived with a brain injury after his boxing career – he eventually became a successful director and actor.
