Waterford boxer Kelyn Cassidy will defend his status as Irish Senior Elite light heavyweight champion tonight in Dublin.

Cassidy won his semi-final, beating Jason Clancy with a clean sweep 5-0 on the judges scorecards.

The Saviours Crystals boxer faces Gabriel Dossen in the 80kg decider, with Dossen also winning his semifinal in a similar fashion.

The Galway boxer won gold at 75 kilos at the European Championships earlier this year.

Cassidy chatted to WLR Sport ahead of the final.
