Celebration for Dennis Hogan in The Spout

There's been something of a boxing buzz in The Spout this evening with the current IBO Super Welterweight World Champion Dennis 'Hurricane' Hogan home from Australia, writes Brian Byrne.

With friends and family, the former Cross & Passion student had the Championship belt with him which was of great interest in a town where boxing has been and still is a seriously taken sport. Dennis took home the prize on 8 October 2022 when he beat Englishman Sam Eggington in a decision win at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Newcastle, Australia.

The 37-year-old has fought a total of 36 bouts in his professional career, losing only four.

As an amateur in Ireland before emigrating to Australia he competed in over 150 fights and was an All Ireland Light Heavyweight Champion. He made his professional debut in 2011.

Dennis currently lives in Queensland, Australia.
