Eagleson and Dossen romp into European Championship final

Dylan Eagleson and Gabriel Dossen will fight for European Championship gold medals on Monday.

LAST UPDATE | 29 May 2022

DYLAN EAGLESON CONTINUES to soar at the European Championships after the bantamweight from Bangor booked his place in the final with a unanimous 5-0 win over Bulgarian Daniel Panev Asenov in the 54kg class.

Elsewhere, Gabriel Dossen also marched on to a final after overcoming Italy’s Salvatore Cavallaro in the 75kg class semi-final.

19-year-old Eagleson is competing in his first senior championship, having shown indications of his potential at the European Under-22 Championships earlier this year.

Eagleson’s assured display against Asenov led to the judges scoring the bout in his favour, 30-27, 30-27, 30-27, 29-28, 29-28.

He is now guaranteed at least a silver medal but will have his eyes on gold when he enters tomorrow’s final against Billal Bennama of France.

22-year-old middleweight Dossen of Olympic BC Galway was the 4-1 split decision victor in his bout and will meet England’s Lewis Richardson in his final on Monday.
