Rogan blasts rival Sexton

Martin Rogan trades insults with Sam Sexton

Martin Rogan and Sam Sexton traded insults at a press conference in Belfast on Thursday, in the run-up to their heavyweight title rematch in October.

We’re sorry. This video is unavailable from your location.

Clearly hurting from his defeat in May, Martin Rogan did not hold back when he came face-to-face with his opponent again.

Sexton won the fight in May at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast to claim the Commonwealth Heavyweight title.

Rogan had looked set for victory in the eighth round after Sexton was out on his feet.

Instead Rogan got a warning for hitting behind the head and the action was stopped a short time later when Rogan could not see clearly out of his left eye.

The rematch will take place at the Odyssey Arena on October 9.

Big Martin is a raging bull and as he said Sexton not only insulted Martins community but the entire community of Northern Ireland. He insulted our country, our history, Belfast and our cultures. I would not be surprised if he throws in the towel long before this fight ever takes place. If the eighth round was anything to go by in the last fight, the first round in this fight will be ten times as brutal. Martin do it for every man woman and child in Northern Ireland.
