GOLD AND SILVER FOR IRELAND IN ITALY

Dean Clancy claimed gold at the European U/22 Championships in Roseto, Italy today.

But Adam Hession had to settle for silver after his fight with Armenia’s Artur Bazeyan was stopped in favour of Bazeyan in the second round.

Clancy won on a walkover after Israeli light welter Ahmad Shtiwi faled to show up for the final.

Clancy won five fights en route to gold.

Hession was right in the bout in the first round,trading punches with Bazeyan and more than holding his own.

But he took two standing counts in the second round and the ref called a half after the second count.

Ireland will be taking home one gold, one silver and one bronze, courtesy of Jack Marley, from Italy.
