Daniel 'Daniel San' O'Sullivan - Only Way Is Up

From the corner of the gym to the centre of the ring, today's guest has made one of the more quietly remarkable transitions in Irish boxing. Daniel 'Daniel San' O'Sullivan started out helping the great Paschal Collins hold pads, wrap hands, and pass on water bottles to some of Ireland’s top fighters — names like Spike O'Sullivan, Stephen Ormond and Craig O'Brien.

But while he was known around the Celtic Warrior Gym as the ever-reliable right-hand man, Daniel was quietly sharpening his own tools. And when he stepped into the spotlight, he didn't miss a beat. After a solid amateur career that saw him scrap with the best between 2019 and 2021, he turned pro in 2022 and hasn’t looked back.

Six fights, six wins, two BUI Celtic titles in two weight divisions — 154 and 160 — and all done with that trademark engine, work ethic, and quiet confidence. He even ran a 10K the morning after his last fight. Relentless is an understatement. Daniel San joins us now on The Rocky Road.
