Sean Mannion (boxer)

Sean Mannion (born October 6, 1956 in Rosmuc, Ireland) is a former boxer in the light middleweight division.[1][2] He boxed out of Massachusetts in the United States. His most notable bout was against Mike McCallum for the vacant WBA title, which he lost over a fifteen round unanimous decision. Newline Films reportedly plans to make a film about his life story.[1] In January 2014, Rocky Ros Muc: Seán Ó Mainnín, a biography about Mannion's life and career was released. The book is written in Irish but there are plans afoot to release an English version.[3] RTE Documentary on One made a programme about Sean's story - Never Knocked Down - produced by Robert Mulhern which won gold in the 2015 Celtic Media Awards
