Fighting Irish quartet punch their way to podium in Minsk

London 2012 silver and bronze medallists, John Joe Nevin, Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan, together with Jason Quigley, are guaranteed at least bronze medals at the European Elite Championships in Minsk, Belarus.

The Irish quartet won their quarter-finals yesterday and head into tomorrow’s last-four duels looking to upgrade to at least silver.

Nevin overwhelmed Hungarian bantamweight Krisztian Nagy, the Mullingar stylist posting an emphatic (30-24, 30-27, 30-25) decision.
