CareerBorn in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, and a lock-keeper by trade,[1] Ferris had a distinguished amateur career, winning a bronze medal at the 1974 Commonwealth Games and five Irish amateur titles.[2][3] After missing out on selection for the 1976 Olympic Games, Ferris took the decision to turn professional and made his pro debut in December 1977 with a win over Keith Steve Johnson. He won 14 of his first 18 pro fights, leading to a final eliminator for the British heavyweight title in September 1980 against Tommy Kiely, with the Irish and Northern Ireland Area titles also at stake; He won on points over 12 rounds, leading to a fight with Billy Aird for the vacant British title. He won by a 15-round points decision to become British champion.[1][4] He lost the title in his first defence, against Neville Meade on October 1981, losing by a first round knockout.[1] He attempted to get another shot at the title but was beaten in a final eliminator in June 1982 by David Pearce, after which he retired from boxing.[2] He subsequently ran pubs in Gloucester and Stoke-on-Trent.[2] References1. ^1 2 "Jack Magowan: Great Irish heavyweights are few and far between", Belfast Telegraph, 6 December 2008.
