Three of Ireland’s boxing elite are turing their attentions to the National senior championships after featuring in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) last week.

Joe Ward and John Joe Nevin both scored victories in the World Series of Boxing (WSB) in London’s York Hall last night, with Michael Conlon losing the bout of the evening to his old rival Andrew Selby.

Billy Walsh yesterday admitted his frustration with the length of time it has taken to secure a new deal with the Irish Amateur Boxing Association(IABA) but remains confident that pen will be put to paper inside the next fortnight.

London 2012 Olympic silver medallist John Joe Nevin has shelved plans to turn professional.
