Middleweight Nevin navigated past the tough test of Dutchman Max van der Pas in the Round of 32 to advance to the last 16.
The Portlaoise man edged a scrappy affair on a 4-1 split decision to set up a showdown with Armenian Arman Darchinyan on Wednesday.
It was a close contest throughout with neither boxer much in the way of clean blows. Ultimately, three of the five judges awarded Nevin the full three rounds.
