In his own words, much of the past two years has been "horrible" for Emmet Brennan, but he is ready to put that all behind him in the coming months as he finally gets his chance in the professional ranks.
The Dubliner, who turned 32 last month, achieved a lifelong dream by fighting at the Olympic Games in July 2021, but it has been anything but a smooth road for the proud North Strand man since.
Brennan qualified for the Games with a shoulder injury, which still wasn't healed when he got to Tokyo. In fact, it would be well over a year after the Olympics before it started to improve following a failed surgery.
