Fought and beat my good friend Terry Magee for the Irish title in 1991. Terry went on to fight for the European Title against Gilbert Deli for the European Title, another loss unfortunately. Terry has been based in Ammanford for the last 40 years and raised millions for kids charities. I have previously mentioned the help he had from Kevin Keegan and Man City FC. |  | | |

Brain lesions cost Close his boxing license and prevented Eubank/Close III; but he continued fighting in the USA. As a result, he lived his final three years in a nursing home. Sad - such a brutal "sport." |  |

Any relation to Eamon Magee, he was a very decent fighter. | | | |

Eamonn is his brother. Terry and Eamonn don't get on and had a long running feud. Eamonn is most famous for losing his World title to Ricky Hatton, having put Ricky down in the first round and then sleepwalking to a points defeat. Nobody can explain it and Eamonn is saying anything. | | | |

Yeah I saw that fight, pushed Hatton all the way tough man and more than a decent boxer. | | | |

There is another brother, Noah, while the other Magee, Brian, is not related at all. | | | |

Not aware of Noah, Brian was more than decent to and a world champion, think he held the middle or super middleweight titles, [Post edited 6 Oct 21:35]
