Moira McElligott with Irish coach Dmitry Dimitruc
Please scroll down for Friday’s pairings for the National Men’s and Women’s Elite Championships finals at Dublin National Stadium and for 2015 winners of Irish Elite belts.
The IABA ran the National Elite Championships twice in 2015 to facilitate Ireland’s boxers going into the qualifiers for Rio 2016.
Four boxers – Brendan Irvine, Kurt Walker, Moira McElliggot and Darren O’Neill – will be defending the titles they won in November/December 2015 on Friday evening
A number of athletes – Stephen McKenna, Dean Walsh, Dervla Duffy and Kellie Harrington – claimed Elite belts last time out but have since moved up a weight, or, in Harrington’s case, dropped down a weight from 64kg to 60kg.
The defending champions are highlighted in fixtures list below.
