John Joe Nevin last fought in 2019 but returned to action last night in Mexico.
Irish Olympic hero John Joe Nevin successfully returned to professional boxing on Saturday night when he won his first bout in five years.
The London 2012 silver medal winner had not fought professionally since 2019 but returned to the ring, beating Jose Hernandez Flores in a six-round super lightweight contest. Nevin improved his professional record to 15-0 following the victory but has not been seen inside a ring since November 2019 when he beat Nicaraguan fighter Freddy Fonseca.
