Clonmel boxer Dean Gardiner is aiming to win his third Irish Elite super heavyweight title this evening.
He faces the only male defending champion left standing at the flagship tournament of Irish boxing – Limerick’s Martin Keenan.
The pair meet over three three-minute rounds.
The clash is a repeat of last-year’s box-off, which Gardiner, a two-time Elite champion, won to claim his place on the Irish team for the European Championships.
Irish head coach Zaur Antia will select a squad from tonight’s finals for three internationals with the USA in the Boston area next month.
