Egan ‘back in business’ as Cruise outclassed

KENNETH EGAN predicted last night that he will become the first Irishman since legendary thrower, Dr to win two Olympic medals.

The Beijing silver medallist was back in business at the National Stadium last night where he outpointed and outclassed Crumlin light middleweight Darren Cruise, who retired at the start of round three when Egan, who led 16-2 at the end of the second, piled on the agony.

“I’m back in business,” Egan declared. “I’m back in the mode. Training is going well and I aim to become the next Irish boxer to win two gold medals.”
