Joyce bows out at semi-final stage in Warsaw

Irish lightweight John Joe Joyce bowed out of the Feliks Stamm Senior Multi Nations in Poland at the semi final stage this morning after he lost out by a margin of five points to ex Polish Olympian Krzysztof Szot in Warsaw.

Joyce, from the St Michael's Athy club, was ahead after round one, level with the Pole at the end of round two, fell behind in round three, and despite a spirited performance in the final round was handed a 22-17 reversal after the final bell.
