Nevin ordered to give young boxers a masterclass

Olympic boxer John Joe Nevin has been ordered to give an exhibition class to young boxers to atone for his part in a public order incident.

Mr Nevin is to return to Mullingar District Court on Dec 5 to explain when and how he will give the four-hour masterclass with young members of the Mullingar boxing club, of which he is the president.

Judge Seamus Hughes said he was following the example of a colleague who ordered footballer Paul McGrath to give coaching to young soccer players in Tullamore earlier this year.
