Dean Walsh retains title after epic battle with Ray Moylette

Defending light-welter champion Dean Walsh retained his title after edging out 2011 European gold medallist Ray Moylette at the Elite Championships at Dublin’s National Stadium last night.

The Wexford fighter battled the Mayo man all the way down to the final bell before earning a split decision in one of the fights of the night at the home of Irish boxing.

Meanwhile, London 2012 Olympian Adam Nolan turned his dream into reality after beating Beijing 2008 Olympian John Joe Joyce to claim his fourth belt this decade.
