Hession advances to featherweight decider on jam-packed night at National Stadium

The line-up for the biggest night in Irish boxing – the National Elite Senior Championships – is really starting to take shape.

GALWAY’S ADAM HESSION booked his spot in the featherweight division final of the National Elite Senior Championships with a unanimous win over Jude Gallagher tonight.

He now faces Sean Purcell in the 57kg decider, after he edged Jordan Smith.
