Summary
- Nicholas Devlin won his boxing match in the lightweight category.
- He works part-time at Aldi in East Kilbride on Saturdays.
- Devlin aims for gold, with a professional career on the horizon.
Nicholas Devlin, a 25-year-old who typically works Saturday mornings at Aldi in East Kilbride, recently stepped away from his retail duties to compete for Scotland. He faced Finbar O'Sullivan of New Zealand in the men's lightweight category at the SEC.
Devlin showcased an accomplished performance, winning unanimously across all three rounds. This victory advances him to the last 16, positioning him within two bouts of securing at least a bronze medal. His sights, however, are set on achieving gold.
The boxer is contemplating a professional career, which would mean leaving behind his job at the supermarket. Devlin noted that his employer has been supportive, allowing him to balance work with his training schedule, and he has used his holidays for competition, taking additional unpaid time off.
