Nevin through to final at EU Championships

Irish 2008 Olympian John Joe Nevin beat reigning European bantamweight champion Luke Campbell of England 13-2 in the semi-finals of the European Union Championships in Odense, Denmark this afternoon.

Nevin, the reigning European Union champion, is now through to Saturday's 54kg final after producing a performance which Irish head coach Billy Walsh, who is working Ireland's corner in Odense along with Zuar Antia, described as "world class".

The rest of the Irish squad will be in action later today.
