Suggestions are rife Boxing Ireland have December title plans for the Bray fighter – and rumour has the exciting to watch light middle at the forefront of the promotional companies next big move.

However, in the typical matter-of-fact fashion associated with the fighter, Treacy insists he knows nothing of what’s next and hasn’t even heard whisper of titles or big plans.

“Because I haven’t fought in so long I’ve been excited since day one of camp. I love the whole process, the training, the diet, the early morning roadwork and the freezing cold dips in the sea and like I said before it’s a special feeling knowing you’ve broken your bollox in camp and you get to fight week knowing all the hard work is done.”

Tickets and hotels aren’t cheap, so I’m very grateful to every last one of them for the support. I also want to thank my coaches for all their time and effort in this camp and everyone for the continued support. Also massive thank you to my sponsors for this camp.
