In a bold declaration that underscores his confidence in rising star Aodhan Byrne, former world title challenger Jason Quigley has set an ambitious target for the young fighter: a domestic title bout by the end of the year. Quigley, known for his strategic acumen and keen eye for talent, believes Byrne possesses the requisite skills and determination to swiftly ascend the professional ranks.
Byrne, who made his professional debut late last month, has already caught the attention of the boxing world with his impressive performance. Quigley’s plan is to keep the Kildare native active throughout 2025, gradually increasing the level of competition to prepare him for a championship bout. “I would love to see him fighting for a title towards the end of the year,” Quigley stated confidently after Byrne’s debut victory in Donegal. When questioned about the feasibility of this timeline, Quigley was unequivocal: “By the end of this year? Absolutely. Why not? He has all the skill, all the talent.”
Quigley emphasized that Byrne’s development will be marked by meaningful fights rather than carefully orchestrated wins against lesser opponents. “We didn’t put him in there with a guy who was going to fall over in one round because that’s no benefit to him,” Quigley explained. “He’s a high-quality operator and he needs to be in against high-quality fighters. That’s going to progress him and take him to the next level.”
Byrne’s debut fight also showcased his growing fan base, with a significant contingent of supporters traveling from Kildare to Donegal to cheer him on. This strong support base provides Byrne with the flexibility to fight in various locations, including Donegal and Dublin. “He’s got a brilliant fan base here as everybody can see,” Quigley noted. “There’s also a massive crowd that drove up from Kildare to see him as well. That’s the great thing about Aodhan—he can fight in Donegal, he can fight in Dublin, he can fight in both places.”
For the remainder of 2025, Quigley’s priority is to keep Byrne active and acclimated to the professional boxing scene. “This year is about him getting into professional boxing and finding out what it’s all about,” Quigley said. “But keep him busy, keep him active. You see professionals turning over and going 8, 9, 10-0 and they’re no further forward than when they turned pro. If you’re him, you move. That’s the way it is.”
With a focus on regular fights and competitive opposition, the goal is to position Byrne for a title shot by the end of the year. If that opportunity does not materialize, Quigley is confident that Byrne will be ready to contend for a championship early in 2026. “The goal is potentially to get a title towards the end of the year. If not, have one lined up for the start of the following year,” Quigley added. “But the goal is to keep him busy, keep him active, and keep him moving forward.”
