On June 17th 2023 Monaghan's Larry Fryers walked to the ring off the back of a win that few (if any) knew the magnitude of. Not only did it end a losing streak - it proved the benefit of all the mental and personal development were starting to allow Larry deliver on the obvious talent that Irish boxing fans have always adored. On that night Fryers tore into the highly fancied Dimasah Niyazsov (14-1-3) for the WBB Super Lightweight Title. It wasn't just Larry's first belt that caught the eye that night, but the manner in which he tore into his opponent and dismantled him.

It didn't take long for his Hall of Fame manager Russel Peltz phone to start ringing and the follow up fight was soon signed, sealed with Fryers ready to deliver. But on September 11th as he ran his usual 10k route he could never have expected what was to happen when he was hit by a car that failed to stop, throwing him into the air and causing injuries and damage that would not only threaten his boxing career, but could well have cost him a lot more!

In this first (of 2 part) interview Larry talks to Al about all if that, about the arrival of his new son, and about the importance of his faith through a nightmare 12 months that would have finished most other careers. Ian continues his 'Ones to Watch' series as he speaks with Wade Pasfield again after a hugely successful season that saw him win a Leinster title and narrowly miss out in an All Ireland final.
