Ten Irish boxers will return with medals from the Under-17 European Boxing Championships, held in Kienbaum in Germany<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After a successful weekend, all 10 medallists will return to the ring on Monday to box for a spot in the finals, and to upgrade their medal colour from bronze.<\/p>\n

Co-captain of the Irish team, Cassie Henderson from Phoenix Amateur Boxing Club in Antrim<\/a>, won a unanimous decision in her 70kg quarter-final against Poland\u2019s Magdalena Lewkowicz.<\/p>\n

Fellow Antrim boxers Lucie Prentice and Paige Nickels advanced to the 50kg and 54kg semis, making it the most successful county at the tournament.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Westmeath<\/a> is represented by two Mullingar<\/a> boxers, Pat Stokes (46kg) from the Mullingar Shuffler Boxing Club, and Jason Donoghue (60kg), from the Olympic Boxing Club, which produced multiple European title-winner Joe Ward.<\/p>\n

Kristian Jubani of Dublin\u2019s Crumlin Boxing Club also claimed at least a bronze in the 50kg class, with Tipperary\u2019s Isabelle Hawkins (75kg) and Cork<\/a>\u2019s William Heaphy (80+kg) rounding out the medallists.<\/p>\n

It will be a busy afternoon on Monday for the Irish team, as six boxers take to the ring in the later session, while the other four will box in the morning.<\/p>\n

This is the biggest medal haul that Ireland have brought home from the four underage European boxing tournaments held this year under the new global amateur governing body, World Boxing.<\/p>\n

Irish boxers also brought home three medals<\/a> from their inaugural World Boxing Championships<\/a> this year, including gold for Aoife O\u2019Rourke<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ten Irish boxers will return with medals from the Under-17 European Boxing Championships, held in Kienbaum in Germany.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[6770,64,63,802,17101,5717,192435,85,30258],"class_list":{"0":"post-348959","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-antrim","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-boxing","12":"tag-cork","13":"tag-germany","14":"tag-mullingar","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-westmeath"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
