"A big shout-out also to our sponsors for their amazing generosity, and to everyone who bought tickets, donated, or supported us in any way. None of this could have happened without you!"

The fight of the night was the bout between Thomas Doyle and Thomas Curran. Thomas Doyle took home Best Home Boxer in what was described as a "barnstormer" from those in attendance.

"A huge credit also to Thomas Curran for being such a worthy opponent," the club continued.

"This win was extra special as Thomas dedicated it to his late brother, Christopher, who passed away in March. Stepping back into the ring under such weight, Thomas showed immense resilience and did his brother proud.

"We’d also like to thank our English friends from Newcastle the north east fire service Boxing Team and the Northumberland Boxing Team for making the trip. What a bunch of legends!

"Always so friendly, and they truly embraced Templemore from their visit to the brewery with Frosty to the Garda College and Fire Station. They couldn’t believe the warmth and sense of community here, and we can’t wait to welcome them back."

"Most importantly, this entire event was about raising funds for Aoibheann's Pink Tie an incredible charity that supports families through the unimaginable struggles of childhood cancer. Working alongside Jimmy Norman and the team is a true honour. Together, we raised just over €10,000 – something we’re incredibly proud of and hope to build on in the years to come.

"This show isn’t just about boxing it’s about community, friendship, and giving back. Plans are already in motion for next year, where we hope to welcome firefighters and police from the USA and possibly a team from Mexico.

"The event brings people together, supports local businesses, and shines a spotlight on our little town all while helping an amazing cause.

"From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who helped make it possible. Too many to name, but please know how grateful we are. Here’s to growing, improving, and making next year’s show even bigger!"
