The 24-years old Creggan boxer opened his professional account in impressive fashion with a unanimous points victory over experienced Czech Republic fighter Josef Obeslo who had previously 47 fights under his belt.

That performance prompted promoters ‘Mack The Knife Global' - run by two time European middleweight champion Matt Macklin - to offer Commonwealth Games Bronze Medalist McGlinchey a place on the June 17th bill in the Waterfront Hall which will be carried live on Box Nation.
