County Tyrone’s Jude Gallagher has won bronze at the European Youth Championships in Italy.
The Two Castle’s Newtownstewart fighter guaranteed himself a medal with victory last Sunday but in Tuesday evening’s Light-Flyweight semi final, Gallagher made his exit from the competition.
He lost all five rounds but in the ring it was a much closer tussle with 2017 European Youth finalist Atilla Bernath from Hungary.
Gallagher worked hard throughout putting in a massive shift in an unrelenting 49kg battle.
Ireland is guaranteed at least four silver medals, Daina Moorehouse, Dearbhla Rooney, Evelyn Igharo and Dean Clancy won their semi-finals to book tickets into today’s gold medal deciders.
The Ireland team is under the management of Raphoe’s Peter O’Donnell.
