“My job is to fight!”
-Interview with Rising Star Middleweight, Chris “The Irish
Ghost” Fitzpatrick
by Todd “Jake” Jacobson

(SEPT 17) In talking to Chris, the
“Irish Ghost” Fitzpatrick in our recent interview, the clear impression
is of Chris’ total commitment to becoming a great fighter. When I think
back on this interview, these words have crystallized in my memory, “My
job is to fight”. Chris said these words with a tone of seriousness,
reflecting a strong, single-minded sense of purpose. He elaborated, “I
don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t chase women. I don’t go to bars. I
just train, work, and fight”.

COLUMBIA – Chris Fitzpatrick’s

(AUG 31) Palmetto Boxing
Promotions continues to establish itself as a leader in
boxing promotions in the southeast United States by
putting on an exciting 11 card show at the Radisson last
night before an enthusiastic crowd. Local favorite Chris
Fitzpatrick, a young 165 pounder, convincingly pounded
Torrance King of Ohio to win a unanimous six round

Story
(AUG 29) COLUMBIA – Chris
“The Irish Ghost” Fitzpatrick’s boxing career has taken
him all over the country, from his start in the dry heat
of Las Vegas to the August humidity of the Deep South.
But it will be an altogether different type of heat he
will try to bring when the undefeated middleweight (6-0)
climbs into the ring tonight at the Radisson in Columbia
to take on former amateur foe Torrence King – headlining
heat.
For the first time since he moved to Columbia from Ohio
over a year ago, Fitzpatrick’s fight is scheduled to be
the card’s main attraction. It’s something the
22-year-old boxer says he’s totally comfortable with
even at this relatively early stage of his pro career.
