Six Irish boxers through to the weekends deciders.

Flyweight Declan Geraghty will be the first Irish boxer in the ring at tomorrows European Union finals at the Odense Sports centre in Denmark.
The Dubliner, who claimed his first senior title in February, meets England's Khalid Yafai, who competed at last Augusts Olympic Games in Beijing.
Ireland have the highest representation in Saturdays finals with six through to the weekends deciders.
England have five in the finals, while Germany and Hungary have four apiece.
Two German opponents stand in the way of John Joe Nevins and David Oliver Joyce's ambitions of successfully defending the EU titles they won in Poland last year.
Beijing Olympian Nevin faces experienced bantamweight Denis Makarov and Joyce meets Sandro Schaer at featherweight.
Darren O'Neill is in against home favourite Stephen Alms of Denmark - Alms received a walkover into the middleweight final after Germanys Konstantin Buga withdrew injured.
Light welterweight Willie McLaughlin meets Balaza Bacskai of Hungary and Tipperary heavyweight Con Sheehan will trade leather with Juan Augustin Aleman of Spain.
Boxing begins at 2pm (Irish time) on Saturday.
