Black Dragon Kickboxer Jamie O’Sullivan, who hails
from Clonberne, Co Galway, became the IKF Senior Light Cruiserweight Kickboxing
Champion of Ireland on Saturday night after a brutal encounter with Claremorris
fighter James Kelly.
The fight, which was sponsored by City & County
Bouncy Castles, was the main event and went the full five rounds championship
distance with both men landing huge shots on the other and although Jamie took
the nod from all three Judges who hailed from Dublin, Tipperary Town and
Donegal, he was rocked by a solid right hand in the third round which would
have knocked out a lesser man.
When the decision was given and Jamie’s hand was
raised, the roof almost came off the Clayton with excitement.
Jamie will jet out to Tuscany with Coach Pete Foley and
the rest of the Irish Team on 30th October to compete in the Unified World
Championships.
