Aran Ryan 

That irish person who probably wants to kill Little Mac

Person 1: So, you know Aran Ryan, specifically in the Wii version of Punchout right
Person 2: Yeah
Person 1: How TF did Mac not die from getting hit by horseshoe-loaded gloves
Person 2: He had Nanomachines (son)
Person 1: Why do you always reference Revengeance at the most random times

"AAAAAAAAA!!! LET'S GO, LET'S GO!"
- Aran Ryan's opening line before Round 1 in Punch-Out Wii

Aran Ryan is an Irish boxer from the fictional video game series Punch-Out!! whose entire presentation feels like it’s built around barely contained chaos. He’s tall and lanky compared to many fighters on the roster, with long limbs, a sharp nose, wild brown hair that flares out, and a constantly exaggerated grin that makes him look like he’s enjoying every second of the fight—even when he’s losing. His voice acting leans into an unhinged, taunting energy, with gleeful shouts and theatrical laughter that give him more personality than most mid-tier opponents in the game.

In the ring, Ryan doesn’t operate like a disciplined boxer. His style intentionally breaks form: he rushes forward with flailing punches, jumps, lunges, and wraps his arms around opponents for illegal grabs. The boxing gloves-turned-rope gimmick literally turning his fists into makeshift bolas is one of his standout traits from the Wii entry, letting him swing forward or drag the player toward him. The design reinforces that he’s not just wild—he’s shameless about cheating, theatrics, and breaking the expected rhythm.

Hey, who's the best boxer in Punch-Out?

Aran Ryan, obviously.
