Healthy Ireland Week: Athy - Eric Donovan

Healthy Ireland Week: "Aspiration Becomes a Reality" Seminar with guest speaker, Irish boxing champion, Eric Donovan

Eric Donovan, from Athy Co. Kildare is a fourteen time Irish Boxing Champion, including 5 Irish Senior titles and a European Bronze medallist in 2010.
In 2012, Eric moved to Kazakhstan for eight months to represent the 'Astana Arlans' in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) and returned home with a gold medal, as the Arlans became world team champions.

After representing the Irish High Performance team for over 10 years and sacrificing his education to do so, Eric went back to education and in 2015 qualified with a diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy.

After his graduation in 2015, he felt he still had unfinished business in boxing and in June 2016 made his professional boxing debut.

At present he is undefeated and the current Celtic Featherweight Champion with European Title aspirations.
