Sean McKusker will look to trade in bronze for silver at least in the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

The Dealgan BC boxer bagged European U19 bronze after a victory over Finland’s Aapo Rovanper over the weekend.

The Louth teen fights for a place in the continental decider after rest day on Monday. McKusker trades leather with Greece’s Petros Nearchos Konstantinoudis in the semi-final.

Wednesday is a much busier day with four boxers in final four action. Kayleigh Byrne, Grace Conway, Nessa Tabachuk and John Donaghue will all look to improve their colour of their medals..

All finals will be boxed on Thursday, October 9th.
