In August 2026, An Garda Siochana arrested and charged two men in their 20s following a violent public order incident that erupted during a professional boxing event at the 3Arena on North Wall Quay in Dublin, Ireland.
The incident occurred on Saturday evening, 1 August 2026, during the IBO World Super Lightweight title fight between Dublin boxer Pierce O’Leary and English opponent Mark Chamberlain. Violence broke out in one of the upper tiers of the venue, with video footage capturing a large group of males engaging in a mass brawl. The footage showed several men punching each other along the stairwells. At the same time, shocked spectators looked on, with one spectator kicking another male directly in the chest before event security staff intervened.
An Garda Siochana officers attended the North Wall Quay venue at approximately 10:20 pm to restore order and support security staff. Two males aged in their 20s were arrested at the scene and taken into custody under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a Garda station in the Dublin Metropolitan Region.
Following official interviews and investigations by An Garda Síochána, both suspects were formally charged with public order offences. Gardai confirmed that both men have been released on bail pending their scheduled court appearance.
