Athletes are reminded that the weigh-ins for Saturday’s finals at the Liffey Crane National Elite Championships will be held between 8am and 9am and 12pm and 1pm at Dublin’s National Stadium tomorrow.
The 2019 finals begin with a ring parade at 5.45pm followed by the first bout at 5.55pm.
Chloe Fleck and Donna Barr get proceedings underway and defending super-heavyweight champion Dean Gardiner and Martin Keenan bring the curtain down on the 2019 edition of the flagship tournament of Irish boxing in the 75th and final bout of the Championships.
World Elite champion Kellie Harrington meets Jelena Jelic in an international bout in her first fight since winning gold at the World Elites in New Delhi last November.
Jelic,who has boxed with Sweden in the past, has switched her allegiance to Serbia.
Dominic O’Rourke, the President of the IABA, noted that there has been a few shocks so far – three male defending champions fell – and believes there could be a few more before the final bell tolls.
”The stage is set for what should be a very exciting night of boxing.There’s a lot of very talented young boxers coming through and that is good to see and good for our sport.There have been a few surprises so far and I think we might see another few before the finals are done,” he said
A number of individuals will receive Services to Boxing Awards tomorrow night in celebration of their enduring contributions to Ireland’s most successful Olympic sport.
