Just over two weeks ago, Wexford native David ‘Bomber’ Kennedy announced that he is turning professional in boxing…
The 28-year old Gorey man has also pencilled in his first professional fight. He will be fighting in the “Warehouse” of the Red Cow in Dublin on October 4th.
With just over three weeks to go to his professional debut, the countdown is now on and Kennedy will be fighting on the undercard of the exciting all-Irish bout between Senan Kelly and Declan Geragthy.
