Exciting Longford boxer Andrew Nugent wins Gold for Ireland
A great achievement to be crowned 4 Nations champion
Longford boxer Andrew Nugent won Gold for Ireland in the recent 4 Nations Youth Championships In Scotland.
Andrew started off in his division on Saturday with a comfortable win against a Scottish opponent in the semi-finals.
He controlled the fight from start to finish to pick up the win and put himself through to the final against a very good 3 time England champion who had a long unbeaten record, not losing in 3 years.
Both lads went toe to toe at a very fast pace and Andrew pressed the fight with his fast feet and slick counter punching attacks. He upped the tempo in every round to have his hand raised as 2026 4 Nations Champion in a great achievement.
Well done Andrew and Team Ireland.
