Barry McGuigan 'grateful' for messages on anniversary of daughter Nika's death

Boxing legend Barry McGuigan has said he is 'grateful' for all the messages of condolences and support as he remembers his daughter Nika six years after her passing. The talented actress passed away in July 2019, aged 33, from cancer, and last week saw the sixth anniversary of her passing. In a post on social media, McGuigan said on the anniversary: "It was 6 years yesterday that we lost our precious daughter Nika. You are loved and missed so much Nika." McGuigan's social media was flooded with kind messages as the general public sent their best wishes to the Clones Cyclone and his family. "So many fabulous messages of condolences for our beloved daughter Nika. Our family are grateful for all you beautiful messages," he said in response. McGuigan has been public speaking about his daughter's passing and previously opened up how it was 'important' to speak out in the grieving process. Losing my daughter five years ago was dreadful, and I never recovered from it, me and my wife, but I'm getting better as time goes on," he said last year. "I used not to be able to talk about it at all, but I know it's important that I do chat about it, and I know she's there somewhere. "And it's just her life was so sad, and it all happened at a most important time in her life when things were looking great and she got cancer and she died. "Sandy and I, my wife, have never really recovered from it. I don't think we ever will, but time teaches us how to deal with it." Nika had a blossoming career as an actress, starring in hit TV Show Can't Cope, Won't Cope and won an IFTA for Best Lead Actress for her role in Wildfire.
