Two Waterford boxers in senior elite finals

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.

Meanwhile, Tramore's Zara Breslin is in this evening's lightweight final with Olympic Champion Kellie Harrington.

Breslin fought her to a loss back in January, but now has a second bite of the cherry as she seeks a first senior elite title.
