Steven Gerard Donnelly (born September 7, 1988 in Ballymena , Northern Ireland ) is an Irish boxer .
Career
His greatest successes at Irish championships were the 2010 runner-up in the light welterweight division after losing to Raymond Moylette in the final and winning the 2014 Irish welterweight championship through victories a. a. against John Joyce and Adam Nolan .
In 2007 he won a bronze medal in the lightweight at the Commonwealth Championships in England and in 2009 the gold medal in the light welterweight at the Arafura Games in Australia . He is also a bronze medalist in the welterweight division of the Chemical Cup 2014 in Germany and the Commonwealth Games 2014 in Scotland , as well as a bronze medalist in the middleweight division of the Commonwealth Games 2018 in Australia.
In the 2015/16 season, Donnelly fought for the Poland Hussars in the World Series of Boxing . He contested nine fights with six wins and finished fourth at the end of the season. Since first-placed Mohammed Rabii qualified via the 2015 World Championships and runners-up Rajab Butayev could not qualify because another Russian boxer was already qualified in the welterweight division, this placement was sufficient for Donnelly to qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games . At the Olympics he defeated Zohir Kedache and Bjambyn Tüwschinbat in the preliminary rounds before he was eliminated in the quarterfinals with 1: 2 on points against Mohammed Rabii.
Professional career
In June 2018 Donnelly signed a professional contract with the UK promotion "MTK Global" and made his debut on August 18, 2018.
