The Chair of IABA’s Board of Directors, with the support of IABA’s elected our elected representatives in the Officer Board and Central Council, has written to all clubs this evening, at an important point in the life of Irish Boxing.
This week the International Olympic Committee is expected to formally announce Boxing as part of the competition schedule for LA28. This is in large part to work of World Boxing in securing sufficient support to ensure Boxing has a global federation. Membership of World Boxing is a prerequisite of being recognized as an Olympic sport.
IABA will issue a Letter of Intent to join World Boxing, and will hold an EGM of all clubs in April. Ultimately, clubs will decide the path forward for Irish boxing.
Niall will be hosting a Q & A session on IABA’s YouTube channel on Monday, March 24th at 8pm, here: https://www.youtube.com/@iabaIrishBoxing. That footage will then be published across all IABA social media channels and on the IABA website.
All clubs are invited to share their thoughts here: https://shout.com/s/MyvFalc4
