European Championships: Andrew Selby wins historic gold medal Welshman Andrew Selby is the first British fighter to defend a European amateur boxing title after beating Ireland's Michael Conlan on a split decision to win flyweight gold. Selby, 24, confined Conlan to silver. The gold is Britain's first in Belarus after super heavyweight Joe Joyce and light-flyweight Jack Bateson lost their respective semi-finals to win bronze. Meanwhile, Ireland's Paddy Barnes has withdrawn from his light-flyweight final with a broken nose. Barnes said on Twitter that X-rays had shown his nose is broken, suffering the injury in his first fight of the European Championships in Minsk. And the news was later confirmed by Northern Ireland's head coach, Billy Walsh. Barnes will take home a silver medal, with Russian opponent David Aryapetyan sealing gold.
