The manager of the late boxer John Cooney is grappling with the decision to leave the sport after his death following a bout last week. John Cooney, a super-featherweight from Galway, passed away after a week-long battle in the hospital following a fight against Nathan Howells.

The manager of boxer John Cooney , who sadly passed away on Saturday, has said he feels like stepping away from the sport.
"It's put me off maybe the whole thing of promoting. But then would it do John injustice if I packed in too because he lived and loved boxing? Only time will tell how I feel but right now we're all in mourning and people are saying things they shouldn't say, they don't mean." "I'm a believer in God and hope. It is one thing that God gives. We all had hope but unfortunately it wasn't to be. One of John's sayings, himself, is that tomorrow is not promised and he certainly lived for the day. He certainly lived for the day.
