A British man who denies murdering an Irish boxing champion "thundered" a jeep into the 20-year-old before driving over him twice at speed, a prosecution barrister has told a murder trial.

The Central Criminal Court trial also heard that boxer Kevin Sheehy and accused man Logan Jackson had "an exchange" moments after leaving a house party where they had gone to celebrate Limerick’s Munster hurling final victory over Tipperary in 2019.
