David Anthony McAuley, MBE (born 15 June 1961, Larne) is a former professional boxer from Northern Ireland who competed from 1983 to 1992. He held the IBF flyweight title from 1989 to 1992 and challenged twice for the WBA flyweight title, in 1987 and 1988. At regional level, he held the British flyweight title in 1986.

Boxing career

McAuley fought under the name Dave "Boy" McAuley and was one of the last Irish boxers to fight for a world title over 15 rounds. His two bouts with Fidel Bassa of Colombia were each voted "Fight of the Year",Script error: No such module "Unsubst". in 1986 and 1987 respectively.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". On 7 June 1989, McAuley defeated Duke McKenzie for the IBF title at Wembley Arena, London.

He successfully defended his title five times, eventually losing it in 1992 to Rodolfo Blanco, whom he had beaten two years previously.[1]

McAuley was unusual for a flyweight in that he was extremely tall, standing at 5'7".

In the late 1990s there was talk of a comeback. Rumours of a fight with Naseem Hamed circulated but never materialised. McAuley also had a short lived MMA career in 1993, fighting twice under the K1 rules, winning one bout and drawing his final contest.
