Galway's Gabriel Dossen wins gold at European Championships (The42)

Dossen is Ireland's newest European champion, while breakout talent Dylan Eagleson took silver in his first ever tournament as a senior boxer.

For the first time all tournament, Eagleson was made to look a touch raw by his slightly slicker opponent. Soundly beaten by 🇫🇷 in the 54kg final but showed enough over the tournament, and even in flashes during the final itself, for Irish boxing fans to be so excited about this 19-year-old. European silver for Dylan Eagleson in his first competition as an elite. The teenager was conspicuously dispirited in defeat but was told to keep his head up by Bennama, and was reminded by his corner of how valuable an experience it had been for him to make it all the way to a major international final in his maiden outing as a senior. The 19-year-old is the son of former two-time European bronze medallist Phil Sutcliffe Sr and was competing in Armenia not only for the first time in a senior Ireland vest like Dossen, but in his very first competition as an elite: Eagleson has not yet even competed in the adult ranks of Ireland’s national championships. The 22-year-old, representing his country for the first time as a senior at a major international tournament, was awarded a unanimous decision in the middleweight showpiece following a closely-fought and entertaining contest with Colchester’s Richardson, 24.

When Gabriel Dossen walked through the doors of Olympic Boxing Club in Galway at the age of 16 his prowess in the ring was already well known in the city.

He had to have surgery to repair the damage,” said Mongan. “As a result, he missed out on the 2020 Olympics. It just wasn’t his time,”. In 2019, he defeated Michael Nevin on a split 3-2 decision in the quarter-finals of the elite championship. “We were able to tape it up and we went on the beat Brett McGinty in the semi-final and Emmet Brennan in the final. Before he focused on boxing, Gabriel played Gaelic games at underage level with St Michael’s. It is fantastic,” said Mongan. A few days later he ruptured the meniscus ligament in his knee while training.
