Whenever Seamus Donlevy was at Wembley Town Hall he was cheered on as if was the good guy. Affter the first couple of times it used to puzzle him but he ended up going. dirtier. The dirtier he became the more we cheered. His opponents never seemed to understand, even Steve Veidor. The first fight with young Steve was rather nasty and ended with a draw. Srange though, as we left posters ware being put up announcing return match next time. Seamus was completely clean that night but we still cheered him on... a personality and good fun.
Information received from Seamus Dunleavy's daughter

Sad news indeed. A big name early sixties.
I never worked out whether the three Ulstermen were connected: Sean Regan with Seamus and his brother?
RIP Seamus Dunleavy
RIP Seamus
Very sad news, RIP Seamus,
