Young Master Egan, 18 years, did well against a 6ft 5ins, well-schooled, trained, lithe Bobby Well, 23 years, himself the son of a boxer. Some of the comments under, are just very harsh and unjustified.

there might be bad comments about Eagan here ,but he had alot of courage for an overweight 18year old young fella ,I wonder about the raw commenters ,did one of them even step into the ring obviously not , because if the did they would know how hard it is ,I know I fought as a superheavyweight ,and when you are hit you know you have been in a fight ,hats off to that youngfela ,he showed alot more courage than any of the keyboard warriors on here ,and another thing ,Eagan went on to be a very good heavyweight ,another thing most can't say on here

Let me tell you something Egan was as hard as 9 inch nails. When he grew up as a Teen was already working the doors! he was weighing in fully grown men for fun on a Friday n Saturday 🤣🤣. Let me tell you though Joe was and still is as humble as they come. And he's still a brute of a guy too! The Egan lads are all stand up guys way down to Tommy. Joe can be proude of what he's achieved

Joe just a raw 18 year kid in this fight and was thrown in with the 1984 Super heavyweight Olympic Bronze Medalist Bobby Wells. Joe would go on to beat WBA Heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon and went the distance with Lennox Lewis. Joe was also one of Mike Tyson's sparring partners. Also has a fantastic book out.

At 18 years old, Egan was raw and inexperienced. He was nowhere near fit enough either. But he missed with some haymakers that, if they had connected, would have knocked his opponent out cold. He was never to become a great boxer but he was as tough as old boots. Later, he was a sparring partner for none other than the great Mike Tyson who described him as the 'toughest white man on the planet'.
