Jack Marley delivers third Euro U22 boxing gold for Ireland

Jack Marley has delivered a third gold for Ireland at the European Under-22 Boxing Championships in Porec, Croatia.

The 19-year-old heavyweight was hugely convincing as he overcame Italy's Roberto Lizzi, dominating from the off and barely taking his foot off the pedal.

Marley was given an unanimous decision (30-26), (30-26), (30-27), (30-27), (29-28) as he offered more emphatic evidence of his enormous potential.

On Tuesday Lisa O'Rourke - sister of Tokyo 2020 Olympian Aoife - also won gold. The Roscommon native defeated Daria Parada of Poland in the light-middleweight final.

Dubliner Niamh Fay followed that up with a brilliant performance in the bantamweight final as she swept past Italian opponent Sharon Prisco on a 5-0 unanimous decision.

Mayo's Aoibhe Carabine took silver after she was narrowly beaten in her middleweight final against Ukrainian Karolina Makhno.

Ireland will take home seven medals from the tournament in total: Kaci Rock (welterweight), Dylan Eagleson (bantamweight) and Paul Loonam (lightweight) all bagged bronzes.
