Team Ireland’s Paris 2024 boxing camp will begin on Saturday – and the all-important draw will take place on Thursday evening at around 6pm, Irish time.
This team is the largest Team Ireland Boxing Team since Rome of 1960. Only Australia (12) & Uzbekistan (11) will have more boxers in Paris. Team Ireland is one of only 3 countries to have qualified a woman at all weights – an extraordinary achievement, given Paris is only the fourth Olympic cycle at which women may box.
The team arrived at the Olympic Village on Monday, and are in the midst of taper camp. Sport Entries Check took place this morning, and the scene is set for a scintillating fortnight of boxing.
