Waterford is in need of a stadium, says a local kickboxing trainer.

Renowned trainer Billy O’Sullivan has sent his champions all over the world for many years, and the likes of Dylan Moran and many more are among the names he has trained to stardom.

With the great crop of fighters in the area, be it boxers or kickboxers – O’Sullivan says there is a need for a stadium in the county.

O’Sullivan says that he is ‘blue in the face’ from proposing the idea to the Council, and that there are many places in the county where the development could be facilitated.

Mr. O’Sullivan also reckons that an ice hockey rink is something that would develop huge interest in the local area, as well as attracting visitors.

He spoke about his ideas with Damien Tiernan on Déise Today earlier this week.
