Silver at least for Irvine at European Games

Brendan Irvine has upgraded his light-flyweight boxing medal to at least a silver after a unanimous points victory over Ukraine’s Dmytro Zamotayev at the European Games in Baku.

Irvine had to fight back after being scored as losing the first round by two of the three judges, but an improved performance saw him earn the approval of all three judges for the next two rounds to earn a 30-27 29-28 29-28 victory.
