Featherweight Carl Frampton created Irish boxing history
Dublin, Ireland - 21st June 2007 - Featherweight Carl Frampton created Irish boxing history tonight following a clinical victory over Latvian Denis Zabins in the quarter final of the European Union Championships at the National Stadium in Dublin.
The win-which guarantees Frampton at least bronze-is the first senior medal that an Irish boxer has won in European competition in Dublin since 1947.
But Irish lightweight Eric Donovan and his St Michael's Athy team-mate John Joe Joyce both exited the tournament following quarter final reversals this evening.
