Oisin Fagan – Wiki, Bio, Age, Wife, Net Worth

In March 2007, Fagan suffered a loss to Paul Spadafora in a split decision over ten rounds.

After winning the Oklahoma State title, Fagan went on a run. Seven straight wins before he was handed a shot at the vacant Irish light welterweight title in June 2006. The Irish title had been vacated by unbeaten fellow Dubliner Robbie Murray to allow Fagan and Peter McDonagh to fight for the title. However, McDonagh pulled out of the fight and Fagan faced Jeff Thomas for the title. Fagan was furious over McDonagh’s withdrawal, stating;

After Fagan’s first nine pro fights he had a patchy record of six wins and three losses including a points defeat to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Following this mediocre start to his career and a defeat to Derrick Moon in October 2004, Fagan had considered quitting boxing but was encouraged to continue by former world champion Wayne McCullough. Fagan then went to train with McCullough and found a new drive behind his boxing and decided to give boxing one final chance.

Fagan then fought for his first title belt in December 2004 against Lee Cargle for the vacant Oklahoma State lightweight title. The venue was sold out and the atmosphere was charged. Cargle landed the first meaningful blows of the fight when he caught Fagan with a surprise right hand, which landed flush on his jaw. Fagan thought the fight was over but shuck it off and returned with a number of flurries to win the opening round.

Fagan had only three fights in his amateur career before turning professional in February 2003, winning his first fight at the AMC Flea Market in Oklahoma City, when he knocked out fellow debutant Sheldon Mosley.

Fagan’s first loss came against Isaac Mendoza in July 2003. Mendoza gave Fagan which broke his nose and cheekbone in three places. Fagan refused to have the fight stopped until the bout was over however with ten seconds to go in the fight the referee called a halt to the fight due to the loss of blood.
