Five Belfast boxers included in Irish pound-for-pound top 10 list

Five Belfast boxers have been included in BoxRec's latest Irish pound-for-pound top 10 rankings for current fighters.

Michael Conlan, Padraig McCrory, Tyrone McKenna, Tommy McCarthy and Caoimhin Agyarko all make the list which is led by IBO World super-welterweight champion Dennis Hogan.

Falls Road featherweight Conlan, who is hoping to fight for a world title this May, is currently ranked second on the list, according to BoxRec.

IBO World light-heavyweight champion McCrory, who is set to return to super-middleweight for a potential WBA final eliminator in May, is fourth behind Jono Carroll.

Whiskey and White podcast hosts McKenna and McCarthy are sixth and seventh respectively, while unbeaten pro Agyarko comes in at nine.

The top 10 is completed by Gary Cully, TJ Doheny and Joseph Ward.

One name missing from the list is IBO World champion Anthony Cacace, but he is ranked the second best super-featherweight in the United Kingdom on BoxRec's website.

He is also ranked number 21 on the UK pound-for-pound table.

Just outside the Irish top 10 is Belfast fighter Sean McComb (12th), while rising Lisburn featherweight Kurt Walker is 21st.
