Naming our club’s biggest award in his memory means more than just a trophy — it celebrates the grit, talent and community spirit Johnny stood for.

📅 This Sunday — first bout 3 pm
✅ 20 top‑class contests + exhibition bouts
✅ Full awards ceremony straight after the fights

✨ Pro Rank Dylan Eagleson ✨

Everyone at St Paul’s Amateur Boxing Club Belfast is incredibly proud of former club boxer Dylan Eagleson, who has now signed with Zuffa Boxing and turned professional – fulfilling what every young amateur dreams of achieving.

Dylan first joined St Paul’s aged 13, having started boxing even earlier with Abbey ABC in Bangor. Straight away he made his mark:
✅ Won his first Irish title while wearing the St Paul’s vest
✅ Represented Ireland at international level taking home medals at u18 u22 & Elite championships
✅ Represented Northern Ireland at the Commonwealth Games and came home with Gold
✅ Collected multiple local & national titles and stood out in every tournament he boxed in Home & abroad

From a young lad training in the gym to competing on the biggest stages – we have so many great memories of Dylan and everything he achieved as an amateur. Now he’s stepping into the pro game as a 5’5” featherweight, ready to make his debut.

We wish Dylan all the best in this new chapter, and will be cheering him all the way – because one day, we truly believe he can go all the way and become World Champion.

Good luck Dylan – from everyone at St Paul’s ABC 🥊
