Continental King – Dominic Barrett wins European Championship Gold
Dominic Barrett is a European Champion.
The Galway fighter claimed European School Championships gold in Bosnia Herzegovina on Saturday.
The Titans BC boxer defeated Poland’s Natan Styczek to step to the top of the 70kg podium.
The win, which brings to an end an impressive week for Barrett and indeed Team Ireland, sees Ireland come away with two golds from the latest installment of the tournament after Ruth Dossen claimed gold in the featherweight class.
The win, Ireland’s second at this instalment of the tournament, sees the starlet become Ireland’s 27th European Schools medal winner. She joins a list of Euro Schools gold medal winners that includes James McGivern, Aaron McKenna, Yasmin Meredith, Winnie McDonagh, Lousie Joyce and Cassie Henderson.
Ireland come away with seven medals, two gold, a silver and four bronze.
