Exciting Bangor bantamweight Dylan Eagleson fell short in his bid to win a gold medal at Monday’s European Championships in Armenia.
The 19-year-old, who leaves Yerevan with the consolation of a silver medal, was beaten in the 54kg final by elusive French fighter Billal Bennama.
The fleet-footed Bennema, four years older, had Eagleson on the canvas in the second round and secured a unanimous decision on the judges’ cards.
