Management company Wise Owl Boxing has announced the signing of undefeated lightweight Brandon McCarthy to its roster of boxers. McCarthy, a decorated Irish standout, brings an  accomplished amateur résumé. The 16-time National Champion compiled an amateur record of 200-15, earning widespread recognition throughout Ireland and internationally for his skill, toughness, and championship pedigree. Since turning professional, McCarthy has wasted no time making his mark. He currently stands at 5-0 as a pro and has already shown progression in the paid ranks. After debuting on the ProBox platform in a four-round bout, McCarthy advanced to six-round contests by just his second professional fight — an indication of both his readiness and the confidence his team has in his ability. Now training out of the world-renowned Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, California, under Marvin Somodio, McCarthy is sharpening his tools among elite company as he prepares to climb the lightweight ranks.

 

Wise Owl Boxing owner Mark Habibi says McCarthy is a natural fit for the Wise Owl family. “Brandon is the perfect addition to our stable,” said Habibi. “His amateur career is incredibly impressive — 200 wins doesn’t happen by accident. That experience is exactly why he was able to move into six-round fights so quickly against tough competition. He doesn’t shy away from anyone. I love that killer instinct. He’s going to make a lot of noise at 135 pounds.”

 

McCarthy is scheduled to make his first appearance under Wise Owl Boxing management in April, on a card to be officially announced in the coming weeks.
