Irish junior welterweight Ryan O'Rourke (3-0) has put pen to paper on a promotional agreement with Star Boxing. In signing the new deal, the 21 year-old O'Rourke has his sights set on growing his fan base internationally, which is already supported by a strong contingent of fans in Ireland. Known as "The Silent Assassin", O' Rourke notched three quick wins in January, February and March of this year before the world came to a stop due to the coronavirus pandemic. O' Rourke is scheduled for bout number four on September 11th in Spain, planning to step up for his firstsix6-round contest. 

 

O' Rourke had this to say about signing with Star Boxing, "I am delighted to have signed with one of the biggest promoters in the world. I can't thank Joe and Star Boxing enough for the opportunity and I am looking forward to getting started and kicking on in America. My career has been mapped out brilliantly, and I am building up a wealth of experience and fighting regularly. This opportunity is what dreams are made of."

 

Joe DeGaurdia, the CEO of Star Boxing, said, "Ryan had an impressive amateur career and since making the switch to the paid ranks, it is clear to see he is very suited to the professional game. He is still only 21 years of age and has a lot of potential. It looks as though he will be a very entertaining fighter in the years to come."
