Waterford's Kelyn Cassidy steps between the ropes tomorrow afternoon in Thailand for the Road to Paris Qualifiers.

The Saviours Crystals boxer missed out in Italy earlier this year and now has his final bite of the cherry if he is to qualify for the summer games.

A quarter-final win is required to qualify, while boxers will not have to box the semis or the finals as a final four spot will be sufficient.

Cassidy faces Delil Dadaev in his opening preliminary, with the potential for three more bouts if he can win his opener.

His coach Paul Simpson says this is very much the last chance saloon.
