All European tournaments – except at Elite female and U/22 male level – are doubling up as male and female competitions.
The first Continental outing of the New Year is the Men’s European U/22 Championships in March in Romania.
The IABA will use next month’s National U/22s as part of their selection process for Romania.
The Youth Olympics return next year in Argentina. Irish boxing, courtesy of current IBF/WBA champion Ryan Burnett (gold), Ciara Ginty (silver) and Michael Gallagher (bronze) have claimed three medals from the last two Youth Olympics.
The World Women’s Elites return to New Delhi after a 12-gap in November. On the last occasion the tournament was held in the Indian city, current WBA champion Katie Taylor won Ireland’s first AIBA World Elite gold in 2006.
