Joyce ‘excited’ at taking on Nolan

JOHN JOE JOYCE is set to kick start his build up to next year’s Olympic Games at the Green Glens Arena in Millstreet, Cork on December 10 when he will be part of the bill built around the visit of the NYPD to box a Garda selection, promoted by Rylane Boxing Club.

The 24-year-old Mullingar man, who boxes out of the St. Michael’s Club in Athy, was thrilled with the news his opponent on the night will be national senior welterweight champion Adam Nolan (Bray).

“It will be exciting,” he said. “Adam is the reigning champion and obviously everyone wants to box him at the moment.
