Talking recently to the Belfast News Letter Magee said: “I will be back in the ring before the summer and I have been offered a few 12 round fights but I would rather have a six or eight rounder to get me back into it. I still have a few fights left in me, but they have to be fights that are right for me at this stage of my career,”

Magee told the Belfast Newsletter before commenting on the launch of his Magee Health and Fitness Gym in Blackstaff Road in Belfast.
