After more than three years out of the ring, Feargal McCrory [11(5)-0] it’s back.
The super featherweight from Coalisland has moved to New York and will finally fight again TONIGHT.
McCrory will box on a ‘One For All Promotions’ card that also includes Mathew Gonzalez, Melissa St. Vil and Giovanni Scuderi
The 30-year-old faces Texan César Afredo Cantú [3(1)-4(0)-1]in a scheduled six-round bout at the Brooklyn Masonic Temple, located at 317 Clermont Ave. in Fort Greene, Brooklyn.
The fight will air on BXNG TV, which can be accessed HERE.
McCrory is third on the card, so he is expected to be in the ring at 1:30am Irish time.
Tyrone’s southpaw moved to the United States following his Irish lightweight title victory over Karl Kelly in 2019.
There were rumors of a Top Rank deal, but the pandemic intervened, canceling McCrory’s appearance on a Mick Conlan card at Madison Square Garden and he would go from training with Andre Rozier to Derry legend John Duddy.
After three nightmarish years, he now has the opportunity to further his career and he is hungry to do just that.
“I’m realist. I just turned 30, I’ve been inactive for a long time but let’s see where it goes.
“I have always been hungry. It’s the only thing I’ve ever really wanted to do and it’s the only thing I’ve really excelled at,” he adds before revealing that he has continued to work during his firing, even if social media didn’t suggest as much.
“I just can’t wait to go. I’m working hard. I’m not one of those people who don’t care about how hard they’re working on social media.
“I am a professional boxer, it is what we are supposed to do. People will judge and see how hard I work when I fight.”
