Amateur titles

Moore boxed as an amateur for Ireland and won three national senior titles and a bronze medal at the 2001 World Amateur Boxing Championships.[2][3][4]

Professional career

Moore turned professional in August 2005, winning his first fight at the Manhattan Center, New York, NY, USA, in which Moore knocked out fellow debutant Gabrial Garcia on an undercard that included Jaidon Codrington and Patrick Nwamu.[5]

Although a native Wicklowman, Moore, like his fellow Irishman John Duddy emigrated to America and fights out of Gleasons Gym in New York. Moore has fought regularly since debut and is currently ranked 3rd in Irish.boxing.com's rankings of light middleweights.[6]
