Boxer Peter McDonagh has revealed that he spoke to David Byrne mere minutes before he was shot dead in the Regency Hotel.
The Irish champion boxer (45), who was pals with mob boss Daniel Kinahan, was at the boxing weigh-in event in the North Dublin hotel when hitmen came inside and opened fire.
And speaking exclusively to this paper, Peter revealed how he ran for his life, “chucking” himself into a “broom cupboard” after gunmen dressed as gardai and armed with AK47 rifles came in looking for his then boxing manager - Kinahan.
