GOOD MEDAL HAUL FOR
BRITISH AND IRISH IN EUROPEAN BOXING CHAMPIONSHIPS. NEXT IS THE WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIPS TO QUALIFY FOR OLYMPICS
It was a good tournament for both the British and the Irish
at this year’s world championships.
Here is the list of British athletes who won medals
Welshman Joe Cordina
won gold at the European Championships in Bulgaria, as Great Britain enjoyed
their best ever results at the event.
The 23-year-old lightweight, who won Commonwealth bronze
last year, beat Georgia's Otar Eranosyan on points.
GB's other finalists - Harvey Horn, Muhammad Ali, Qais
Ashfaq and Pat McCormack - had to settle for silver.
Light-heavyweight Joshua Buatsi's bronze took their tally to
six medals from a team of seven fighters.
Belfast bantamweight Michael Conlan secured a gold medal at
the European Championships in Bulgaria by beating British boxer Qais Ashfaq in
the final.
Conlan produced a dominant display and was awarded a
unanimous points decision by the three judges after three rounds.
Another Irish boxer, light-heavyweight Joe Ward, beat Peter
Mullenberg of the Netherlands on a unanimous decision to regain the European
title he won four years ago.
