Seven-time Irish Heavyweight Champion, Joe Egan, will be at Blondies Bar and Nightclub, Newport, on Sunday (December 14).
A boxing legend who could hold his own as Mike Tyson’s sparring partner for many years, Egan will be sharing his stories from inside the ring and outside with Tyson, with photo opportunities with the celebrity.

In his professional boxing career, Egan won 13 of his 16 bouts and, as an actor, he featured in two of Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movies.
“I’m looking forward to meeting people from the Isle of Wight,” the 60-year-old said.
“It’s a beautiful place. I remember going there years ago on a school trip.”
Free entry. Egan will be at the venue at 2pm. Doors open at 12 noon.
