24 Elite boxing champions were crowned at the National Stadium last night, include St. Michael's, Athy boxer, Brandon McCarthy.

He won a unanimous decision against Jack McGivern of St.Georges, Antrim, at 63.5kg.

Brandon McCarthy boxed very well there. Up against a tough kid in McGivern from Belfast. A great win for St. Michael's Boxing Club Athy and another one to come with @tommyhyde99 🙏

Enniskerry BC's Daina Moorehouse got the 5-0 win over  Niamh Early of Ryston in a very tough contest.

This is the first time the Elite competition has been staged since November, 2019.

Among the more remarkable results was an Elite title for Olympian, 36 year old Darren O'Neill.

He hasn't boxed, competitively, in four years, and claimed his 8th Elite title when he decided to enter after just one training session.

Absolute history made in the national stadium tonight, the oldest senior champion ever and the senior champion record holder under the one roof for one night only…🙏 #modesty #vain pic.twitter.com/OlPl8zHlZz
