Stephen Broadhurst has enjoyed huge success at youth level but will be hoping to add a senior medal to his haul in what is his first attempt tonight
Local boxer Stephen Broadhurst could be a national champion by tonight as he takes on defending champion Michael O’Reilly in the National Stadium in Dublin for the 75kg senior national elite title.
The fight, which will be shown live on TG4 from 7.30pm, is part of the IABA Elite Senior Championship finals, with 20-year-old Stephen having booked his passage there with a victory over Belfast’s Caoimhín Hayes.
That meant that the Dealgan boxer reached a senior national final in his first attempt.
Coached by his father Tony, Stephen won 10 national titles at youth level and will be hoping to add to that figure by landing a senior title tonight against Portlaoise man O’Reilly.
