Beijing star Egan makes ring return

KENNY EGAN will make his first public appearance in the ring since Beijing in the semi-finals of the national senior championships tonight at the National Stadium.

The Olympic silver medallist turned his back on a pro contract, putting him in line for a sensational ninth consecutive national senior title.

It will be a major surprise if the Neilstown southpaw does not find the measure of Denis Hogan (Grangecon) tonight but next week’s final could be a different kettle of fish.
