Joyce through to European quarter finals

Reigning Irish featherweight champion David Oliver Joyce joined Ryan Lindberg and Ross Hickey in the quarter finals of the 37th European Senior Championships following a convincing 16-3 win over British 2008 Olympian Joe Murray at the Greenbank Academy in Liverpool this afternoon.

Joyce, from the St Michael's Athy club, will now face Ukrainian Olympic champion and 2007 World Championships silver medallist Vasyl Lomachenko with a bronze medal up for grabs in Wednesday's quarter finals.
