Neil Sinclair aka Sinky (born 23 February 1974 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a professional boxer.[1] He usually fights at light middleweight or the divisions either side.
Sinclair boxed for Ireland as an amateur and won a bronze medal at the World Junior Championships at Montreal in 1992 and also won a gold for Northern Ireland at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada.[2][3] Sinclair turned professional in April 1995, winning his first fight at the Ulster Hall, Belfast, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, in which he knocked out Marty Duke on a card that included Darren Corbett and the final fight in the career of Damien Denny.
In June 2007, Sinclair announced his retirement[4] although he decided to return to boxing within a couple of months.
