Egan looks Hungary for success

KENNETH EGAN (Neilstown) will face a Hungarian opponent tomorrow afternoon in his quest for a medal at the European Union Boxing Championships in Arborea, Sardinia.

He is the sole Irish survivor following yesterday’s session that saw middleweight Eamonn O’Kane (St. Canice’s) go under emphatically, 41-19, to the lightning fast Artur Zwargcz from Poland.

And while the tough Derryman was clearly out-pointed there was amazement all round by scoring as every punch appeared to merit a point.
