THERE WAS DEFEAT for Dean Clancy at the European Boxing Championships in Serbia, as he was denied a medal in the 63.5kg/light-welter category.
The Sligo fighter, who is already qualified for the Paris Olympics, lost out to Azerbaijan’s Malik Hasanov in the quarter-final on a score of 5-0.
Earlier today, Galway’s Adam Hession missed out on a medal after he was beaten on a unanimous decision by Russian Eduard Savvin in the 57kg/featherweight division, also on a 5-0 score.
Those results mean that Ireland will have four medal-winners from the competition as Kellie Harrington, Shannon Sweeney, Niamh Fay and Aoife O’Rourke all prevailed as they advanced to the semi-finals at the European Championships yesterday.
