James Quinn McDonagh was born in Ireland in 1967. He spent the early years of his life living the traditional way of Irish Travellers, in a horse-drawn barrel-top wagon, sleeping in a tent by the side of the road. As the head of a clan, James was forced to combat constant opposition both inside and outside the traveling community and became a true proper fighter.
James Quinn is an undefeated heavyweight bare-knuckle boxing champion who truly made his way up the ranks with a remarkable life story. He has since then moved on to find and train up and coming bare-knuckle fighters.
