Egan eyes golden moment

KENNETH EGAN will meet Xiaoping Zhang of China in the light heavyweight boxing final tomorrow (8.50am), when he hopes to emulate fellow Dubliner, Michael Carruth, by winning the Olympic gold medal.

“Kenny’s going to win this one and if not I’ll have one up on him,” his old sparring partner and erstwhile arch rival, Darren O’Neill, said last night.

“I boxed Zhang in the Gee Bee tournament in Tampere last year and I beat him and I will be very surprised if Kenny does not beat him as well.
