Christina Desmond: I have enough experience to get me through

Cork middleweight Christina Desmond bids to become the first Irishwoman since Katie Taylor to reach a European Elite final in Sofia, Bulgaria today. 

The Macroom southpaw faces France’s Maily Nicar this afternoon, with Natasha Gale of England and Wales’ Lauren Price clashing in the corresponding 75kg semi-final.

“If I box to my ability I know I will be fine. The thing is to get in and get my shots off and not be hit. I feel I have enough to win this and I have the experience to do it,” said Desmond of Fr. Horgan’s BC.
