NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2018

 

Galway lightweight Patrick Mongan opens his title defence against Dillon Duffy in the first of the 60kg Elite quarter-finals at the National Stadium on Friday evening.

Evan Metcalfe and Adam Courtney meet in the curtain-raiser for the 2008 Elite Championships in Dublin.

Mongan scored a stunning win over Russia’s Vladimir Nikitin in a Round Robin tournament at the National Stadium last March just a few weeks after beating George Bates on a split decision to claim his first Elite belt.

The Connaught lightweight posted a 4-1 split verdict over Nikitin who was beaten by John Joe Nevin in the semi-finals of the 2013 European Championships in Minsk.

The Russian athlete, a World silver medallist, earned a controversial decision over Michael Conlan in the last-eight at the Rio Olympics with at least bronze up for grabs.

Speaking to www.iaba.ie after the three-rounder  with the Olympic BC man last March, the Olympic bronze medallist admitted that Mongan was a very tough opponent and that he believed that the Conlan fight was “close”.

Meanwhile, 15 bouts will be decided Friday, with former Elite champion Dean Gardiner and Thomas Carthy going head-to-head at super-heavy in the final contest on the card.

Friday’s weigh-in times – 8am to 9am and 12pm to 1pm at the National Stadium.

NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2018

Dean Walsh

 

Please scroll down for results from the 2017 National Elite finals at Dublin’s National Stadium.

Twenty male and female titles were won on February 17 last at the flagship tournament of Irish boxing.

Five of the champions from last season, Joe Ward, Kellie Harrington, Grainne Walsh, Brendan Irvine and Kurt Walker, went on to win World and European medals in 2017.

All received awards at last weekend’s IABA Annual Awards Night at the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel in Dublin.

Meantime, the draw for the 2018 edition of the tournament will be held this morning and published here on www.iaba.ie this afternoon. Boxing begins Friday.

Wexford’s Dean Walsh, also a European Elite medallist who claimed the Best Boxer accolade at the Elite Championships 12 months ago, will be targeting another belt in the 69kg class.

This month’s Championships, the first of two editions of the tournament in 2018, are of particular significance for Ireland’s female boxers in the build up to the World Women’s Elite Championships in New Delhi in November.

On the last occasion that the tournament was held in New Delhi, Katie Taylor claimed Ireland’s first World Elite gold medal in 2006.
