Fighting Irishmen
Friday 29 May - Sunday 29 November
Ulster American Folk Park

Celebrating Celtic Prizefighters 1820 to Present. Organised by the Irish Arts Center in New York City and under the direction of guest curator James J. Houlihan, ‘Fighting Irishmen’ tells the story of Irish emigration through the sport of boxing. A mainstay in New York and Boston for three years, this is the first time the internationally acclaimed exhibition has gone on display outside the U.S.A. The exhibition features an array of robes, gloves, boxing bags, prints, photographs, paintings and films of Celtic Prizefighters from 1820 to the present day. The exhibition offers a unique glimpse at the role that prizefighting played in the history of Irish America. Back in earlier decades, as the Irish sought to find their feet, boxing was often a quick passport to a better life for those who had a talent for it.
