Ronan Deegan from Clonminch in Tullamore took on Karl McConway, SBG Charlestown, on Saturday night in Clonmel at the Premier Fighting Championship.

Ronan dominated throughout the three round bout and won by decision against Dublin based McConway who has had over 20 amateur fights to date.

Ronan has been training at SBG Tullamore for a number of years now under Head Coach Kieran Davern. He trains twice a day every day and his work ethic and positive attitude are clearly evident in every match. Ronan has been fighting at an amateur level since late last year.

Ronan will fight again at the end of July. The future is bright for the MMA fighters in SBG Tullamore.
