he family of a man stabbed to death with a slash hook by infamous bare knuckle boxer Joe Joyce have hailed his conviction for murder.


Hulking brawler Joyce is now facing a life sentence for the brutal killing of his teenage neighbour John Paul McDonagh in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, in April 2020.


Feared boxer Joyce (32), who is originally from Moate, Co Westmeath, murdered innocent John Paul by striking him with a slash hook in the leg in an incident that was caught on CCTV.

It took a jury just over three hours of deliberations before they returned a unanimous 'guilty' verdict against Joseph Joyce.

Mr. McDonagh (18) sustained a fatal wound to his lower leg during a street battle outside the Enniskillen home of Joseph Joyce in April 2020.

In a trial that spanned three weeks, a jury of eight men and four women were shown CCTV footage which captured the fatal wound being inflicted on Mr. McDonagh.

In the CCTV footage Joyce could be seen standing on the street outside his home.

Brandishing a slash-hook in one hand and plastic bottle filled with ammonia in the other, the footage captured Joyce engaging in what the Crown described as a "street battle" against brothers Gerard, John and Jimmy McDonagh.

The footage also captured Joyce administering the fatal blow to the back of Mr McDonagh's left leg.

Despite receiving medical treatment both at the scene and in the South West Acute Hospital, Mr. McDonagh passed away on the morning of April 13, 2020.
