Derry boxer impresses in Irish pro debut at National Statium

Derry boxer Connor Coyle produced a shutout points win at the National Stadium as he made his pro-boxing home debut.

The Derry man, who had a knockout win in Florida last month, notched up a 40-36 points win over Santos Medrana on the Inception card.

A former Commonwealth bronze medal winner he had big north-west support behind him, with a sizeable contingent from the St. Joseph's club.

His experienced Spanish opponent gave Coyle a useful test, but ultimately it was the Derry prospect who did enough to secure victory.
