Irish boxing has won 40 medals – 8 gold, 9 silver and 23 bronze – and all levels of European boxing in 2019 and has never finished outside of the top ten in the medals tables.
The final bell tolled on the 77-nation AIBA World Men’s Elite Championships in Ekaterinburg, Russia today.
Eight champions were crowned at the 20th edition of the tournament since the inaugural World Championships in Havana in 1974.
Russian middleweight Gleb Bakshi secured gold this afternoon at the expense of Eumir Marcial of the Philippines.
Earlier this week, Bakshi edged Ireland’s Michael Nevin on a 3-2 split decision – 29-28 x 3 and 30-27,29-28 to Nevin of the Portlaoise BC who won all three rounds on one card.
World-class performance from Nevin with many observers believing that the Laois man, who claimed European Elite bronze this year, won rounds one and three against the new World No.1.
Likewise with Antrim’s Aidan Walsh who was shaded on a 3-2 split versus England’s No.2 seed Pat McCormack who took home silver from Ekaterinburg.
Antrim feather Kurt Walker, who reached the last eight, and Dublin heavy Kiril Afanasev lost out to eventual bronze medallists – Mongolia’s Erdenebat Tsendbattor and Bulgaria’s Radolsav Panaleev.
Irish boxing did have a person in the ring in today’s finals as Donegal’s Sadie Duffy refereed the feather clash between Cuba’s Jorge Alvarez and Uzbekistan’s Mirazibek Mirzakhalilov, which the Uzbek won.
The light-heavy title changed hands for the first time since Milan 2009 in Ekaterinburg. Cuba’s Olympic titlist Julio La Cruz won 81kg gold in 2011, 2013, 2015 and 2017 but his drive for five was derailed in the semi-finals and he had to settle for bronze.
Overall, it was a disappointing tournament for western Europe – with the exception of England’s silver and two bronze and bronze for France.
Uzbekistan (3), Russia (3) Cuba (1) and Kazakhstan (1) shared the eight gold medals.
Uzbekistan topped the medals table while the medal breakdown per Continent ahead of the Continental qualifiers for Tokyo 2020 next Spring – and the final World qualifier in Paris next May – is Asia (15), Europe (10), Americas (6) and Oceania (1). 32 medals were on offer.
Meanwhile, the 2021 World Men’s Elites will be hosted in New Delhi.
Regan Buckley, Kurt Walker, Wayne Kelly, Aidan Walsh, Michael Nevin, Kane Tucker and Kiril Afanasev represented Ireland at Ekaterinburg 2019.
The seven-strong Irish squad are due to arrive home via Dublin Airport at 10pm tomorrow evening.
A new batch of champions were crowned at the National Novice Championships at Dublin’s National Stadium this morning and early afternoon.
Nineteen titles were claimed at the home of Irish boxing.
The Championships were completed over 59 bouts over the last two weekends.
The IABA congratulates all champions, finalists and competitors at the tournament.
