The Monkstown International Box Cup continues to grow from strength to strength.

This year’s tournament will feature 788 boxers from 114 clubs from throughout the world and will also welcome its first teams from Asia, India and Mongolia.

Forty clubs from England are in the hat along with five American sides.The 2017 edition of the International Box Cup runs at the DLR Leisure Centre in Loughlinstown in Dublin from Thursday 29th June to Sunday 2nd July.

The tournament, which is proudly supported by the DLRCC (Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council), IABA (Irish Athletic Boxing Association), DLR Leisure and sponsored by GlobalMedics.com, has grown ‘tenfold’ in size since its beginning in 2013. The original tournament in 2013 had 75 boxers, according to organisers.

One of the Monkstown Box Cup organisers, JP Kinsella of the Monkstown BC, admitted that the International Box Cup is a massive undertaking, but that they’re loving every minute of it.

He said:“The tournament committee sat down last September and worked out the tournament dates/schedules and other fundamentals.

“In November, we then sent out the invitations to every club that has attended before. The tournament has a great name, with many boxers going on to compete at the European & World Championships.

“A lot of interest has come from all around the globe.Our Committee of volunteers is so hard working, we have two separate committees in the process (Fundraising Committee & Parents Committee which looks after meals etc for all the boxers). It’s a massive undertaking from the club, but we absolutely love every bit of it, and we are well prepared and can’t wait for the 29th June to get started”

“Most Hotels/B&Bs/Hostels around Dun Laoghaire/South Dublin/City Centre & Bray are completely booked out – so be expecting to see plenty of Boys & Girls in their Club Boxing Tracksuits around Dun Laoghaire and surrounding areas on the first weekend in July.”

Ulster High-Performance  coach John Conlan hailed the talented young Ulster side after an impressive haul of ten medals from the Black Forest Cup in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany last weekend.

Juniors Jude Gallagher (Two Castles) and Thomas Orr (Lisburn) landed gold, Kane Tucker (Holy Trinity), Colm Murphy (St George’s), John Moran (Illies GG) and Dominic Bradley (Errigal) took silver, while there was bronze for Anthony Johnston (Gleann), Eoghan Quinn (St John’s, Swatragh), Kian Bittles (Holy Trinity) and Barney Corcoran (Carrickmore).

“Dominic was in against their golden boy and we just thought he was brilliant,” said Conlan who used the  six-strong squad for next month’s Commonwealth Youth Games in the Bahamas in the Black Forest.

“The competition was selected because it’s a very tough multi-nations tournament, and we wanted to have a look at where the guys were, and where they need to be in six weeks’ time, he told the Irish News.

“It was a great learning curve for the guys. I went there not even worrying about getting medals, I just wanted good performances, and as the tournament evolved the boys’ performances got better and better.

“I’m very pleased with everybody, the juniors and the youths.”
