He’s clearly got a lot of potential. The only two things that concern me, and they haven’t raised their head yet, is what is his discipline like. The travelling community aren’t known for their monk like discipline and work ethic when it comes to training and nutrition, neither are the jokers and fun loving individuals (Hatton, Frankie gavin) hopefully McCann is different.

@@jamesosullivan479 I’m not hating on the kid, he’s a talented rookie pro and I did say those things haven’t appeared yet. I hope they’re never an issue for him and he really maximises his talent. He’d be the first in the traveller community that I know about to have that level of dedication., because those lads enjoy their food and partying like the rest of us.

Role model that left school at 12? Fair play to him for making a success of his boxing but 99.99% of kids who do the same thing will irreparably harm their life chances.

He has worked his ass of and sacrificed shit loads to get where he is and he is still so young .. he has money and fame and a natural gift of boxing but still modest, down to earth and respectful of other people and other fighters ….. so yeah like I said before a good role model 😉 happy Christmas 👍🏻
How can you not wish a lad like that all the best..? Proper talent and, his family setup is inspirational.. Solid..
He is a real traveller a lot of respect for his opponents and very humble
Well done young man,you can hear it in his voice that he has passion for this sport. Having knocked around with travellers many years ago,I know how they think when it comes to boxing. They live and breathe boxing. I shall keep on an eye on this young lads career.

why why why: Want to wish you success with your boxing. Whatever your background and whether you are boy or man it's the best thing that you can do hard lad as you'll learn more of what life's about in a fight than in years at school. May your punches be strong and may you be so proud of yourself as you prove what you're made of. Hope that you can hurt your opponent really very badly with lots of powerful repeated punishing punches to his head and face. Can you?

Dennis is right up in my estimations, this lad will go far and such a nice, humble guy, always excited for his fights, such a top working traveller 🙌🏻🇬🇧🥊🔥
This young man is a fantastic role model for any hard young boys who know that they can test themselves and prove what they're made of a fight.
its nice to see a young traveller using his fighting skills in the ring and hes got a good future and big respect to him and i hope he does well and starts lifting titles all the best dennis to you and your family
It's great to see a young lad showcased, I'd not heard of him until now but you can see the hunger in his eyes and he looks proper mustard.You can see he's got a great family around him. Go get your dreams young fella all the best to you🥊🥊
Dennis is going to be a superstar no doubt about it can’t believe how young his mother looks just shows how young Dennis is and how much he’s showing these other guys up future of British boxing
Hes got as we say in ireland " an old mans head on a young mans shoulders " maximum respect young man best wishes brother !!!
Great guy Dennis is , Amazing boxer and conduct himself really well outside the gym , he will 💯 sure be a world champion soon and go really far in life
He is such a nice lad, with a great future, looking forward to seeing Dennis do well and entertaining us. Go Dennis
He will go all the way. There’s no beating someone with that kind of dedication.
Thank Fuck there was subtitles 😂
Kid is far beyond his years in maturity and skill I truly hope he goes the full distance and sets up his family along the way!
Saw him a couple of years ago and thought he was good, very very slick, fast and powerful with good movement. Last fight got tested a bit but came through well, he's another of this next generation of kids who seems to have their heads firmly screwed on. I hope he stays that way and gets a title, he's very exciting to watch.
Watched him as a amateur at repton and he has the ability to go on to be a world champ, best amateur i have ever seen and he has that X factor 🥊
This young man is going all the way 🙌 💪 🙏 👏 💯 big up frank for putting him out there 👏 🙌
A great lad..and one of the biggest up and coming boxing prospects.Good luck kid.
This kid is very talented, watching him box his speed and form is excellent, he will be a world champion for sure
Great stuff what a nice young lad. Wish you all Success for your hard work and how you and family all so close is heartwarming. God bless
Holy shit he just destroyed the stereotype of travellers where they get told not to school and take it seriously. Nice, parents done their jobs well here.
Dennis is a fucking legend been following him since day one some kid repping ireland 🇮🇪
These are REAL travellers, lovely family its a shame some idiots let the community down.

Can you really be superstar as a bantamweight? Causal fans generally prefer watching fights at slightly heavier weights. I cannot remember the last real 'superstar' who big fights were below welterweight (Duran, Mayweathers signature fights were at welterweight). Doubt he got the natural size to fight in this division.

@@CT9904-CT That my point to be a superstar means you need to attract causals. Inoue not massive outside Japan and not getting multimillion dollar purses so I say he not a true superstar - that not a judgment on ability. As for Pacquiao I think we all know how he moved up, so if he got a good pharmacist I sure McCann can do the same.

I am really impressed by his Ritecheous attitude to life. 'He would beat up the Bullies'. Nice one Dennis. I wish we were friends when I was a youngster 🙂

what an amazing attitude for a young man
He's going to be very good I think he has a great mind set and is very switched on. The travellers have it right everything is about family how it should be, great solid people with proper morals. All the best Dennis and your people
Great lad great boxer very humble a champion in the making
If only more of these talented Travelers would just behave when they were young they would be flooding boxing. There is some unbelievable raw talent in their ranks, but it's wasted doing crime and then wasted away in jail. It's such a shame, as talent like Dennis are two for a penny in their community!
