How Sean Monaghan Went From Laying Bricks To Becoming World-Class Boxer

Before deciding to join the pro ranks, Monaghan competed in the 2009 New York Golden Gloves competition, losing at the final on points, at Madison Square Garden.

He beat the count but was dropped again by a straight right hand to the head and was saved by the bell to end the round. The ringside doctor put an end to the bout citing an injury. Monaghan was credited with a first round TKO.

Monaghan appeared on the undercard of the WBO featherweight championship fight between Orlando Salido and challenger Mikey Garcia at Madison Square Garden Theater on January 19, 2013 where he defeated Roger Cantrell by unanimous decision in an eight-round fight.
