Boxing career
O'Brien was the National Champion in 1978 after winning the prestigious ABA featherweight title,[1] the title success was controversial because his opponent Austin Owens was considered by many to have done enough to have won the fight.[2]
He represented England and won a bronze medal in the -57 kg featherweight division, at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada[3][4] and boxed out of West Ham and later Repton (Bethnal Green) ABC.
