Barry flyweight Andrew Selby became the first British boxer to successfully defend his European Amateur title with a split decision win over Ireland's Michael Conlan in Minsk.

Selby came on strong in the final round to edge out his great rival Conlan and retain the title he first won in Moscow two years ago.

The 24-year-old Welshman has now won four consecutive European medals having also picked up bronze medals in 2008 and 2010.
