Ulster Elite Finalist, Stephen Mc Mullen, remains in the thoughts of the IABA and every member of Ireland’s Boxing family.
Stephen, of Newington ABC-Patsy Quinn Boxing Gym, contested the Ulster Elite Heavyweight final in Girdwood Community Hub, Belfast, on Thursday evening, December 9th.
Stephen didn’t require medical attention during his bout, and, with his coaches, left Girdwood Community Hub after the Ulster Elite Finals.
Unfortunately, Stephen fell ill at home, and was admitted to the Royal Victory Hospital on Friday, December 10th.
IABA understands that he is in a serious, but stable, condition.
Ulster Boxing Council is in on-going contact with Stephen’s family. IABA and the Ulster Boxing Council will continue to provide support to Stephen, his family and his club during this period.
