Eamonn Loughran (born 5 June 1970) is an Irish former professional boxer who competed from 1987 to 1996. He held the WBO welterweight title from 1993 to 1996, successfully defending the title five times. At regional level he held the Commonwealth welterweight title from 1992 to 1993.
Amateur career
As an amateur, Loughran boxed for Ireland and won a silver medal at the 1987 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Havana, Cuba defeating the Cuban and American fighters on the way to the final. Loughran then turned professional later that year.
Professional career
Loughran fought out of the Breen Gym in Belfast and, in December 1987, fought his first professional fight at the Ulster Hall, Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, in which he beat Glaswegian Adam Muir on a card that included Dave "Boy" McAuley and Andy Holligan.
It was five years, during which he fought twenty professional fights, before Loughran challenged for his first title belt.
In 1993, he would win the vacant WBO welterweight title against American challenger Lorenzo Smith.[1] He would defend the title five times before losing it to José Luis Lopez in March 1996,[2] after which Loughran announced his retirement.
