Galway welterweight Kieran Molloy will be the only Irish boxer in action at the Feliks Stamm tournament in Poland today.

 

The 2013 World Junior bronze medallist meets Poland’s Gibaldo Maksymilin in the 11th bout on the programme which begins at 4pm (Irish time) in Warsaw.

 

Molloy, who boxes out of the Oughterard BC, won on his Feliks Stamm debut yesterday versus Norway’s Jamshid Nasari.

 

Today’s three-rounder with Maksymilin will be for at least bronze, with Molloy looking to join Myles Casey in the last-four.

Ireland experienced mixed fortunes at the Feliks Stamm Elite Multi-nations this afternoon and tonight, with Kieran Molloy, pictured, advancing to the last-eight but James McGivern and Thomas Carthy bowing out.

Molloy was involved in a top class three-rounder with Norwegian welter Jamshid Nasarim, reports Irish team manager Francis Keeling, and came out on top 4-1, but McGivern was beaten on a unanimous decision by France’sRio  2016 silver medallist Sofiane Oumiha, who boxed at last weekend’s Round Robin at the National Stadium, in the 60kg class.

However, it was a composed performance from the Belfast southpaw who was by no means overawed against an opponent who is ranked No. 4 in the world.

Carthy, the last Irish boxer in action today, dropped a unanimous to France’s Djamili Dini Aboudou, who also boxed at the Stadium last weekend, in the super-heavy class.

Molloy will be back in action tomorrow evening versus Poland looking to join Myles Casey in the semi-finals.

Casey received a bye into the last-four.
