Fogerty's boxing career saw him facing a number of opponents. He twice faced Paul Lister, with their first meeting in 1989 handing Fogerty his first and only loss in a 6-round decision. He repaid the favour with an 8th-round knockout of Lister the next year.
After ending his boxing career, Fogerty joined Halifax. He also played for Warrington, and won a Super League medal with St. Helens.[3] Fogerty is currently working with Toronto Wolfpack as assistant coach.[citation needed]
