Mitchelstown boxer Vladimir Belujsky received two awards from CIT last week. One of the awards was an individual award for his boxing achievements throughout the year.

Vladimir also received an Irish Colleges award in recognition of being selected to represent the Irish Colleges and Universities team at the Haringey Cup in London in June.

The young boxer will be fighting in Slovakia on June 11 on the undercard of a professional European title fight and is also hoping to get selected in October to fight in the World College Championships in Thailand.

With these high profile listings in his sights, Vladimir will be training hard over the next few months. We wish him well!
