Glenn Byrne - Focused on Fighting

Glenn Byrne is an unbeaten professional boxer fighting out of Dublin/Wicklow. The younger brother of Jay Byrne, his manager, promoter and trainer, Glenn's fighting for his first title at the National Stadium on April 12. With a 5-0 record to his name, up next for Glenn is Charly Lopez of Spain, with the BUI Celtic light-middleweight belt on the line. Win, and the route to an Irish title opens up. Lose, and he'll have to begin again. That's something he's already done before, after totally turning his life around following a health scare. Here, Glenn talks about how drinking took over his life and overshadowed his sporting talents, how it made him sick and how he managed to get away from it and flourish. There's an incredible story about Premier League footballer Troy Deeney pushing him towards the boxing journey he's now on after they met at a pool party in Bali. Now, with the world at his feet, his inspirational story is sure to inspire anyone who finds themselves in a similar position to the one he was in.
