Samuel Storey (born 9 August 1963 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a former professional boxer. Storey fought at Super Middleweight and won the British title in 1995.[1] From Marsden Gardens in North Belfast, one the areas of Belfast hit hardest during the Troubles, Storey was introduced to boxing from an early age by his father, Gerry, the Irish National Coach.[2][3]

He is the third of three sons and one daughter born to Gerry and Belle. His elder brother, Gerry Junior, was also a successful amateur boxer.[4][5] Storey was a useful left-sided midfielder at juveline level for Newington F.C. in the Down and Connor Leagues during the 1970s.

Storey won every age-group amateur boxing title in Ireland at light-middleweight for the Holy Family Club and later represented his country in the European, Commonwealth and Olympic Games. He then turned professional at the age of 23 and fought for British, European and World titles against the likes of Chris Eubank and Steve Collins. Storey's successful career saw him win the British title and earn a Lonsdale Belt.[6]

After retiring from the sport in 1997, he worked for Sky Sports and wrote a column for the Sunday People newspaper. Storey was a restauranteur for a number of years in his home city.
