Knockout Start Continues – Jenkins and Olanyian Score World Youth Championship Wins
Team Ireland scored two emphatic wins at the 2024 World Youth Championships in Budva today.
Ryan Jenkins and Adam Olanyian both scored knockout wins on Day 4 of the tournament.
Olympic Mulingar’s Jenkin’s stopped Estonia’s I Markarov to progress to the next round. Jenkin’s forced numerous standing counts throughout his bout, which was stopped in his favour in the second round.
Jobstown’s Olaniyan got the job done that bit quicker. The super heavyweight’s clash with Mexico’s Rameriez lasted just 48 seconds.
Jenkins next meets Israel’s A Rahal, and Olanyian will contest against Hungary’s Brendon Nemeth.
