Kildare boxers reign supreme on live TV at the National Stadium

It was a night to remember for Kildare boxers at the National Stadium last weekend.

Veteran Eric 'Lilywhite Lightning' Donovan claimed the Irish Featherweight title after an impressive fourth round victory over Stephen McAfee.

The bout was part of an eleven-fight card at the Clash of the Titans professional boxing event.

Also in action were the Phelan siblings from St Brigid's Boxing Club in Kildare Town.

The youngest ever Irish female boxer to go pro, Katelynn Phelan (18) won her bout with Polish opponent Monika Antonik.

It was a big achievement for the former World Youth and European Junior bronze medalist.

Her brother Allan defeated Aiden Metcalfe in his fight in the BUI Celtic featherweight battle.

The event was broadcast live on TG4 in association with Assassin Boxing and Boxing Ireland Promotions.

All eleven fights were broadcast live on the TG4 YouTube page with live TV coverage featuring Donovan and the two Phelans from 8.30pm to 11.30pm.

The programme was presented by Máire Treasa Ní Cheallaigh with commentary and analysis by Gary Spike O Sullivan, Jason Quigley, Andy Lee and Seán Bán Breathnach.
