Westport boxing star called up for Irish team preparing for the European Championships

MAYO boxing received another huge boost this morning with news that Padraig Corduff from St Anne’s BC in Westport has been selected for the Irish U-23 team as they prepare for the upcoming European Championships in Croatia.

Corduff is one of the rising stars in Irish boxing and was hugely impressive when winning the national U-23 title in Dublin recently. He joins Castlebar’s Natalia Fasciszewska in the Irish squad training in Boxing Ireland’s High Performance Unit in Dublin under the guidance of National Coach James Doyle.

Both Mayo boxers will be hoping to compete at the European U-23 Champions in Porec in Croatia in November where many of boxing’s top prospects will be strutting their stuff.
