A professional Wexford boxer will be back in the ring soon…
Professional Wexford boxer, David ‘Bomber’ Kennedy, will be aiming to add another win to his record when he fights in the National Stadium next weekend, April 12th.
Gorey man Kennedy holds a professional boxing record of 1-0, with his impressive debut win coming last October at the Red Cow in Dublin.
Who is he fighting?
David ‘Bomber’ Kennedy will be fighting 32-year-old Iranian boxer, Bahadur Karami. Karami holds a professional record of 4-27-0. In Karamai’s last three fights, he went the distance with his opponents, however, he lost on points on all three occasions. The fight is scheduled to be a four-rounder.
Where is it on?
It’s taking place at the National Stadium in Dublin. It’s a place where Kennedy tasted a lot of success in the amateur ranks.
What time is he due in the ring?
The “A Night of Champions” card is being promoted by JB Promotions. The event will get underway at 4:30pm and Kennedy’s fight will be the first fight of the night. His ring walk will be at approximately 4:26pm, with the fight taking place at 4:30pm.

What about the other Wexford boxers?
Wexford town man, Dean Walsh, was due to be fighting on the same card as Kennedy. However, Walsh was ruled out of the fight due to a hand injury. Meanwhile, Dean Gonzalez Furlong is set to headline another fight in Alicante, Spain, which will take place later this month on 26th April 2025.
Can I still purchase tickets?
Yes, but you’ll need to be quick. There is still a small number of tickets remaining – but the event is almost at a sell-out. Tickets can be purchased directly from David Kennedy on Instagram or through Jordan Doyle’s Barbershop in Gorey.
