Team Ireland completed a training session today in the build up to a big weekend of action at the AIBA World Youth Championships in St Petersburg, Russia.

Gabriel Dossen and Michael Nevin are through to Friday’s semi-finals versus Russia and Scotland.

The Galway and Laois light-welter and middleweight – who have won three bouts apiece so far – are guaranteed at least bronze at the 63-nation tournament.
