Boxer Egan loses Olympic qualification bid

Irish captain Ken Egan lost his quest to secure Olympic qualification after losing his light heavyweight semi-final to Ramazan Magamedau from Belarus in Pescara, Italy today.

Egan was being tipped to advance from this afternoon’s decider, but at the end of four very competitive rounds it was Magamedau that had his hand raised in victory following a 17-13 verdict.
