Darren O’Neill gives Brendan Irvine at lift at the closing ceremony for the European Games in Baku in 2015
Three of England’s boxers to face Ireland in an Elite international at Dublin’s National Stadium next Friday experienced contrasting fortunes at the GB Championship finals in Sheffield last night.
Heavyweight Chevron Clarke, who will face London 2012 Olympian Darren O’Neill, added to his CV on a unanimous decision over Scott Forrest of Scotland at the English Institute of Sport, a venue familiar to Ireland from training camps.
But Cory O’Regan and Lewis Richardson were beaten in the lightweight and middle deciders by GB pair Calum French and John Doherty.
O’Regan and Richardson meet George Bates and Connor Wallace at the home of Irish boxing.
The December 16th international will be decided over nine bouts.
Special guests on the night.
Tickets available on the door at €10 per adult and €5 per child. Pre-pay tickets available through IABA.
