Ian Garry celebrates after his Cage Warriors 115 win against George McManus in September. Dolly Clew/Cage Warriors

Rising Irish prospect Ian Garry booked for December return in London

The 23-year-old will aim to keep his unbeaten record intact when he faces English opponent Lawrence Tracey.

UNDEFEATED DUBLINER IAN Garry (4-0) will aim to continue his rise in mixed martial arts on Saturday 12 December.

Garry is set to compete at Cage Warriors 119 against English opponent Lawrence Tracey (5-4).

The card will round out a series of three events being staged by the UK-based MMA organisation on consecutive nights, all of which are to take place behind closed doors at London’s York Hall.

Garry has generated considerable attention and a sizeable following since making his professional debut in February 2019.

After winning his first three bouts in the paid ranks last year, he returned in September with a clinical TKO finish of George McManus in the second round.

Under the stewardship of former Cage Warriors middleweight champion Chris Fields and Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Tom King, the 23-year-old welterweight fights out of Team KF in Swords.

    @Ben Symes: this one isn’t going to have to play in the horrible culture it appears was created under O’Neill/Keane…..

    @Paul Mallon: It may not have been the main reason, but,with Kean’s bullying and O’Neills ineptitude it certainly seems to have had a bearing on his decision

    @Augustus hoop: If you claim to be of a certain nationality and consider yourself Irish, you’re not going to let the behaviour of one or two men change your nationality. Rice was English from the start. Nothing to do with Keane.

    @Stephen Lyons: if only nationality was that simple….. I’ve cousins born and raised in England to Irish parents, who feel both Irish and English (and have passports for both). It’s pretty common and it doesn’t make them any less Irish than me.
    A horrible culture and people being dicks all the time would make me want to leave a situation. To be fair it wouldn’t make me (or you – clearly a true Gael) want to play/support another country, but I wasn’t born somewhere else with strong Irish links.

    @Augustus hoop: so you’ve just contradicted your first comment. If Rice really felt Irish he wouldn’t hafe declared for England simply because of a manager that is clearly only temperarily in the job. Btw I think rice should be ashamed of his actions

    @Augustus hoop: sure sure. If Rice really felt Irish, regardless of the manager in charge he should’ve gave his all. However he clearly didn’t feel that and O’Neill can’t be held responsible for Rice playing fast n loose with his nationality.

    @Paul Mallon: well they could’ve capped him against Moldova and England could never have come calling and he’d never have had his head turned, so I’d say they should get a lot of the blame

    Stories up an hour and the moaners are off, yes, Rice got swayed by the money, and Grealish is just a cock, leave off this lad, he’s done nothing but wear the shirt, don’t just assume he’s gonna turn, innocent until proven guilty, and good on him for getting to where he has gotten, keep it up lad

    We’ve gained Callum Robinson, Josh Cullen and McGoldrick since we lost Rice. 3 top players with more like Coventry coming through.
    We’ve done very well with UK born players over the years.
    We’ve had a national football organizational swindling the money for years, yet every time Declan Rice’s or another young UK born players name gets mentioned, then it’s quickly all their fault for the state of Irish football today.
