27/07/2024IABA NewsIABA

63.5kg Dean Clancy makes his Olympic debut, and heralds Ireland’s Olympic boxing centenary when he steps in to the field of play at the North Paris Arena this afternoon.

He takes on Jordan’s Obada Alkasbeh in Round of 32 action. He’s in the ring in Bout 8 of the Afternoon Session. That session begins at 2.30pm, Irish time, and Dean’s ringwalk is forecast for 4.20pm.

Alkasbeh, is a Rio 2016 Olympian, who exited at the Round of 32 stage. He qualified for Paris at the 1st Olympic World Qualifier in Milan, following three wins. Most recently, he contested the 2024 Asian Games but exited at preliminaries stage.

Team Ireland Boxing at this Olympic Games is the largest 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.
