A world boxing championship belt has been stolen from the home of Belfast fighter Eamonn Magee.

Detectives said the World Boxing Union welterweight belt, which is worth tens of thousands of pounds, went missing following a burglary at Magee's home.

The Ulsterman only returned to the ring in March, 13 months after he was subjected to a vicious gang attack which left him with a punctured lung and horrendous leg injuries.

Doctors told him he would never fight again but Magee overcame the odds and won his comeback fight against Denmark's Allan Vester.
