Description

Ahead of Barry McGuigan's fight against Colombian Filipe Orozco a camera crew for Good Evening Ulster follow McGuigan in training and speak to him about the challenge of fighting against a southpaw.

The report also shows McGuigan helping out with serving tea at the B&B guest house that he uses when preparing before fights. The owner of the B&B and his wife Sandra both speak about his 'grumpiness' before fights. With McGuigan soon to become a world superstar of boxing, this is a charming snapshot of him on the way up the ladder. The reporter is Eamonn Holmes.
