Sylane's Keelyn Mangan is the IABA National Intermediate 60kg boxing champion following a split decision victory over Corpus Christi's Ella McDonald at the National Stadium in Dublin on Saturday (29th November 2025).
It was the second big bout for the Celtic Eagles boxer after she had a unanimous decision win over Emerald's Catriona Moore the previous evening.
The result is a reward for the hard work and sacrifice put in by Keelyn, who'd lost three national semi-finals in previous years but has been showing signs of a change in fortune in 2025.
On her way home, National champion Keelyn Mangan and her coach Pawel Popko popped into studio on 'Saturday Sport' to chat to Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly.
