Eric Donovan coy on IABA High-performance director role vacancy

Newly crowned EU Super-featherweight champion Eric Donovan hasn't ruled out taking on the role of IABA High-performance director in the near future.

The 37-year-old is currently considering his future after capturing the Super-featherweight title in an entertaining scrap with Khalil El Hadri at the Europa Hotel in Belfast last month. The veteran fighter has been a professional since 2016 and has accrued an excellent professional record of 16 wins and just two defeats.

Both defeats came in high-profile fights with top-class opponents in the UK. And while interest in 'Lilywhite' is at an all-time high, the Athy born fighter, whose wife is due to give birth soon, has many things to consider before he even thinks of returning to the ring.
