Gardaí launched an investigation after they were called to the disturbance – involving a number of people – shortly after 11am.
Another man and a woman – both in their 20's – were also taken to the Midlands Regional Hospital in Tullamore, with non-life threatening injuries.
John Joe Nevin's leg has been broken to two places, which puts him out of the ring for the foreseeable future.
