Irish light heavyweight prospect Thomas Myers Shipping Up To Boston to fight Saturday

PhilBoxing.com




SLIGO, Ireland (March 10, 2025) – Irish light heavyweight prospect Thomas Myers (2-0, 0 KOs) is following in the footsteps of past fighters who have crossed the Atlantic from their native Ireland to fight in the Boston area in order to enhance his pro boxing career.

Myers, who fights out of Sligo, faces Tyrone Albert Adams (0-2) in a four-round bout this Saturday night at Boston Harley-Davidson in Revere, which borders Boston to the north.

Former world champion Steve Collins and the man who retired Mike Tyson, Kevin McBride, are two Irishman who fought out of Boston by way of Ireland.

“Thomas was determined to come to the states to fight,” Thomas’ new manager Kevin Dever (Kevin Dever Sports Management) explained. “He contacted me. I had been out of boxing for a little while. He’s good looking, respectful, personable and can fight. I think this kid can rejuvenate the Irish boxing scene in Boston, New York and other cities on the East Coast where a lot of Irish live. Thomas is going to grab the attention of people watching him fight this Saturday night. He’s an exciting fighter with an entertaining style. I’m not saying he’s the savior, but he is part of the puzzle, one who can bring back Irish boxing in the United States.”

The 28-year-old Myers started boxing eight years ago, when his father Thomas, Jr., got him involved in the “Sweet Science.” Thomas had a solid amateur career, representing his homeland as a member of the Irish National Team for which Myers fought in Italy twice, as well as England and Denmark.

Covid sent Myers back, plus some time off, which resulted in him not fighting for a five-year stretch. The southpaw decided to turn pro, making his debut August 24, 2024, defeating 107-fight veteran Harry Matthews by way of a four-round unanimous decision in Newcastle, England, United Kingdom.

“Irish boxing has been a little bit behind,” Myers said. “We have good boxers, but there aren’t a lot of opportunities to fight on shows in Ireland, which is why a lot of us go abroad. I had to go to England for my first two pro fights and now I’m fighting in Boston. It’s going to be big fighting there on St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

“Fans will get to see how good a boxer I am. The crowd does play a part in a fighter’s performance. You can hear the Irish crowd and that will push me even more. I plan to put on a show and make a statement so that the next time I’m fighting in Boston, even more Irish boxing fans will support me there.”

Irish Eyes will be smilin’ on Saturday night, both in Boston and back home, when Irish boxing fans watch Thomas Myers in action.
