The IABA would like to offer their deepest condolences to the Hawkins family on the death of their father Tommy.

Tommy was a founding member of the Holy Trinity Boxing Club in Belfast and the club has gone from strength to strength over the years. His son Michael continues to coach in the club and his grandson Michael Jnr carries on the family connection to Holy Trinity.

Tommy’s son Harry was a former Holy Trinity man also and now coaches Emerald Boxing club.

The funeral mass of Tommy Hawkins will take place tomorrow, Thursday, 28th November at 12 noon in the Holy Trinity chapel, Turf Lodge, Belfast.

May he Rest in Peace
