Limerick’s Myles Casey advanced to within one win of becoming the first St Francis BC boxer since Jimmy Moore and current WBO World middleweight champion Andy Lee to claim an Elite title last night.

Limerick southpaw Andy Lee will be targeting his first win of the year when he defends his North American title against the durable Saul Duran in Michigan this evening.

Newly-crowned WBA super bantamweight champ Bernard Dunne admits that he was inspired by the Irish rugby team en route to his win over defending champ Ricardo Cordoba at The O2 Arena in Dublin on Saturday night.
