Nevin ready for Olympic boxing debut
Bantamweight John Joe Nevin will seek to become the fifth Irish boxer to make it to the last sixteen at the Beijing Olympics when he meets Algeria's Abdelhalim Ourradi in a preliminary round bout at the Workers Indoor Gymnasium in the Chinese capital tomorrow.
The 54kg contest is scheduled to glove off at around 2.30pm Irish time tomorrow afternoon and head coach Billy Walsh says that 19-year-old Nevin, from the Cavan boxing club, can't wait to make his Olympic debut.
