Egan and Sheahan target Olympic qualification
Egan, from the Neilstown club in Dublin, is the most experienced member of the Irish team in the Windy City. The winner of seven national senior titles, meets Julius Jackson (Virgin Islands) with the winner of the Mperdesis Anastasios (Greece) and Julio Castillo (Ecuador) bout awaiting the victor on Sunday.
“The last eight is a nice little carrot at the end of the stick,” Egan admitted. “I have done it twice before at these championships and it will be great to do it again with Olympic qualification as the bonus.
