Irish on course for gold rush
London 2012 silver medallist John Joe Nevin and bronze medallists Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan, along with Jason Quigley, are all through to today’s finals and are guaranteed at least silver after blasting their way through yesterday’s semi-finals in Minsk.
It was a special day for Cavan BC bantamweight Nevin as he celebrated his 24th birthday with a last-four win, but Jason Quigley stole the show with a stunning victory over current world champion Ievgen Khytrov of the Ukraine.
