Description

Jackie Fullerton reports for Good Evening Ulster ahead of Barry McGuigan's first title defence of his world featherweight boxing title. A death threat has been issued against McGuigan during the week and his manager Barney Eastwood discusses the issue, expressing surprise how anyone could find issue with the mild-mannered and polite McGuigan. Barry himself is also interviewed as he looks forward to an intense three weeks of training.
