O’Neill is feeling the Mersey beat
“It’s been a long wait what with injuries and different things,” the Paulstown southpaw said last evening as he settled in to Irish boxing team’s Merseyside base.
After his failed attempt to get a shot at Olympic qualification at middleweight where Darren Sutherland went on to take a bronze medal, he moved up to his more comfortable light heavyweight division and, in his last international appearance, beat the Olympic bronze medallist, Yerkebulan Shynaliyev of Kazakhstan en route to the gold medal at a multi-nations tournament in Turkey last June.
