New comeback date for Insane McShane


Daniel McShane [9(3)-1(1)] will end an almost three year sabbatical from the ring when he fights on MHD Promotions first show of 2018.

The boxing barber suffered his first defeat as a pro when his shoulder came out while fighting Zoltan Horvath in March of 2015 and he hasn’t fought since.

‘Insane’, whose ring walks became a thing of small hall legend, had threatened a return on more than one occasion and, both before and during his time off, wasn’t shy of a call out.

However, after a number of false-starts it seems the 24 year old ticket-seller will reunite with Mark Dunlop and return to the ring on a dinner-show at the Europa Hotel in Belfast on Saturday February 3rd.

Super featherweight McShane will join a bill which also features James Tennyson, Joe Fitzpatrick, Stevie Quinn Jr, and Feargal McCrory.

Initially announced on the bill, Paul Hyland Jr will no longer fight as he requires a longer than anticipated recovery from a broken jaw suffered in his controversial win over Stephen Ormond in October.

Dunlop is delighted to see McShane back fighting, and said that ā€œDaniel has taken some time away from the sport and has had a tough time of late, I am just happy he is back at the Kronk with Tony Dunlop and training alongside his good friend James Tennyson. ”

“He is still a baby and has plenty of time to fulfil his potential.”

“A special thanks to Kieran Farrell who like myself just wants to see Dan back on trackā€

Tickets are on sale now for the card and are available from Dunlop and the fighters involved.

Prices are £35.00 (Unreserved), £45.00 (Reserved Ringside), £75.00 (VIP including four course meal).
