Spencer, Peake and Conway in European Action Today
It’s the lady’s turn in Porec today as three more Irish fighters compete in the European Youth Championships on Saturday.
Tiffany Spencer, Caralgh Peake and Grace Conway all box in Croatia.
Josbtown’s Spencer gets things underway as she meets Lala Madatova of Azerbaijan in the 48kg division.
Ireland’s 50kg star Peake is up next making her return to continental level.
The Mayo boxer is in mouthwatering Ireland versus England action as she trades leather with Alice Catherine Pumphrey.
It’s Romania’s Luciana Maria Petrache for another decorated star Grace Conway who is last through the ropes for Ireland on Saturday.
All three will be looking to follow in the footsteps of Jack Johnson, Scott Thompson, Ryan Jenkins and Adam Olaniyan by securing a win in the tournament.
