The Irish Athletic Boxing Association (IABA) can confirm that Zauri Anita has committed his future to Irish Boxing until 2021 despite offers to coach from the National Boxing Associations of Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia and Canada.

Antia will serve as Head Coach having first joined the Irish High Performance Team in 2003. Originally, Zauri’s focus was on the men’s team but over the last 18 months he has also had an increasing involvement with the women’s High-Performance system.

Antia is delighted to be in a position to remain.

He said: “I am delighted on both a personal and professional basis to commit to Irish boxing. Ireland has been home for my family and I for the last 13 years and I am delighted that we are in a position to stay. I am also very excited about remaining part of the Irish High-Performance system.

“We are, as is normal after any Olympic Games, in a period of transition but there remains a significant amount of talent and potential in the system as evidenced by the medals won by our team at the World Youth Championships in Russia last week and I am confident that with the right support and investment we can deliver future success.

“I am also looking forward to becoming more involved with the women’s programme and feel that the medals we won at the recent World and European Championships is evidence of the strides made in women’s boxing here.”

IABA CEO, Fergal Carruth said: “I am thrilled that we have managed to fight off some tough competition from other countries to retain the coaching expertise of Zauri within the Irish High Performance programme. He has been an integral part of all the success achieved by Irish boxing since his arrival in 2003.

“His decision to stay is a vote of confidence in the future of Irish boxing and in the significant talent within the system across our men’s and women’s programmes.”

AMATEUR BOXING RESULTS

 

 

 


The website (Strefa) Amateur Boxing Results has evolved over the years into becoming amateur boxing’s equivalent of Boxrec, the first port of call for professional boxing.

Click here for site.

Olympic, World, Continental and National results are collected from the four corners of the earth, making Amateur Boxing Results a unique and a crucial asset to our sport.

The archived results distinguish the site, according to its founder Janusz Majcher of Poland.

A small army of scribes – including a few “keyboard tappers”  from Ireland – supply him with results.

Hungary-born Tibor Kincses of AIBA, a one-man global content supplier, also provides an equally invaluable international service.

From the Arabian Peninsula to the Treaty Stone in Limerick, by way of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, if there’s an international boxing tournament underway, Tibor Kincses will source live draws and results, file them and put same on the record.

Janusz Majcher, meantime, reports that Amateur Boxing Results is still evolving.

“I’m only a boxing fan with statistical verve, he said modestly.

Joe ward bbbbbbb

“When I started, I wanted to place in one site as much results of amateur boxing. This is non-profit project, of course.

“With the help of many people (who send me results) this website is still growing. Priority is given to the current results, but archived results are what distinguishes this page.

“Every free moment I use for this website and I am glad if someone finds it useful.”

Amateur boxing owes Tibor Kincses and Janusz Majcher an enormous depth of gratitude.

Both men, aided and abetted by suppliers from throughout the world, are compiling the statistical and live history of our sport on a daily basis.
