Emmet Brennan (born 4 May 1991) is an Irish boxer.[2] He competed in the men's light heavyweight event at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[3]

Amateur boxing career

[edit]

Emmet started boxing at the age of 10.[4] In the Irish National Boxing Championships Brennan won silver in 2019, sandwiched by gold medals in 2017 and 2020.[5][6][7] In the 2020 European Boxing Olympic Qualification Tournament he qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics by defeating Liridon Nuha in a box-off bout. In the Olympics, Brennan was eliminated from the tournament in the Round of 32 by Dilshodbek Ruzmetov.

Professional boxing career

[edit]

Following the 2020 Summer Olympics, Brennan developed a drinking problem due to difficulties in recovering from a shoulder surgery. However, he eventually sobered up, got into contact with Darren Barker and embarked on a career in professional boxing.[8][9] As of October 2024, Brennan had racked a record of 4–0 in his tenure in professional boxing.[10]
