Sheahan comes out of wraps for quarter-final clash

ROY SHEAHAN comes out of isolation this afternoon to box Dimitrits Sostaks (Latvia) in the quarter-finals of the European Union senior boxing championships at the National Stadium.

The Irish welterweight champion has been isolated from the remainder of the team at their headquarters in Griffith College since last Sunday morning when he woke up with cold sweats and a headache.

“Eric (Donovan) had the same thing the previous week, so we thought it was something contagious,” high performance director Gary Keegan said. “With Eric, it went away after 48 hours, but we put Roy in isolation as a precautionary measure. We did not want any other members of the team to get it.
