Sean McComb from Northern Ireland banned from Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise after alleged Sin City altercation

A BOXER from Northern Ireland has been banned from the Gold Coast’s party precincts after allegedly landing himself in trouble at Sin City.

A BOXER from Northern Ireland has been banned from Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach after allegedly getting into an altercation out the front of Sin City nightclub last night.

Sean McComb, the captain of the country’s boxing team, was out with friends drinking last night when security decided to kick him out of the club at around 2.45am.

The 25-year-old boxer, who was knocked out of getting a Commonwealth medal on Sunday, reportedly left without any dramas but allegedly decided to turn back and start a fight with the bouncers.

McComb was eventually pinned down by Sin City staff until police arrived, who issued him with an infringement notice for public nuisance with violence.

Police said no one was injured.

The boxer has also been issued a banning notice from the “safe night precincts” in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach, designed by the Queensland government as a way to reduce drug and alcohol-related violence in the party areas.

After getting knocked out on Sunday, McComb said it was a “sin” he and his team mate weren’t going to medal at the Gold Coast games.

“It’s a sin that one of us won’t win a Commonwealth medal, but that’s boxing for you,” he said.

McComb took ti Twitter immediately after his loss to thank everyone for their support. Picture: Twitter.

He also took to Twitter immediately after his loss to thank everyone for their support.

“Cheers for all the messages everyone not the 1st time I’ve been beat and won’t be the last! But all the support keeps me going thanks again! Bang bang gravy chip,” he wrote.

McComb’s boxing career had been funded by Sport Ireland until last year when his sponsorship came to an end.

Since that money dried up, the 25-year-old had to train for the Gold Coast and the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympics on a shoestring budget.

But McComb isn’t the only one allegedly landing himself in trouble at Surfers Paradise.

The night before the boxing incident, one of the 3700 officers deployed by Queensland Police was sent back to Brisbane after becoming involved in an incident.

“Officers of the Queensland Police Service are expected to uphold high standards of behaviour and accountability whether they are on or off duty,” a statement read.

“The Queensland Police Service is aware of an incident at a licensed venue in Surfers Paradise overnight involving an off-duty officer deployed to the Gold Coast.

“The matter has been referred to Ethical Standards Command for assessment and investigation, however the allegation is not criminal in nature.”
