Illies Golden Gloves boxer Cahir Gormley has received a boxing scholarship from the Irish Boxing Club in Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA.

The light-middleweight fighter impressed in the States over the summer, as he was named ‘Fighter of the Night’ as he overcame Andre Mendez in Dover, Pennsylvania in June.

He also defeated Demetress Wilson in Scranton previously.

Gormley was crowned a National Intermediate Champion late last year, defeating Brian Morgan via a 3-2 split decision in the 71kg final.
