The Irish Boxing Family continues to join with Olympic Boxing Club Galway and the families of John Keenan, Christopher Stokes and their friend, Wojcieck Panek, following Friday’s terrible tragedy.

John (16) and Christopher (19) were members of Olympic Boxing Club, and were with their friend, 17 year old Wojcieck, when a car entered the water at Menlo Pier in Galway on Friday evening. John and Christopher were former Galway County Champions and their club has paid tribute to them:

It’s with deep pain, heartbreak and sorrow that the untimely and tragic death has occurred of one of our boxers John Keenan early hours this morning.

John has been with us at Olympic BC since he was 10years after following his brother Martin Sammon through our doors.

John had always had a big smile on his face and would go out of his way to do anything for anyone, He never let anything get him down.

Our sincerest and heartfelt condolences goes out to John’s Brother Martin, his Mother Elizabeth and his brothers and sisters.

May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace amen

Olympic Boxing Club

And, the club added

Devastating tragedy

Rest in Peace to both club members Christopher Stokes and John Keenan, Both exceptional young men and too young to go. Rest in perfect peace boys, we’re all broken hearted.

Our broken heartfelt condolences goes to Anthony and Kate Stokes and Family

Olympic Boxing Club

Speaking to the Irish Times, Olympic BC Secretary John Mongan said

“It is a very dark day for us. John was a lovely, lovely kid. It was easy to get on with him. He was very decent. He would offer to go to the shop if you needed anything. He was so helpful. Our hearts are broken over John.

“He boxed two weeks ago in the county championships and won that. It was a great battle. And the following week, last Sunday in Castlerea, he boxed again and was beaten. But he was gracious about it.

“He was in the club again on Wednesday training and he shook it [the loss] off. He was looking forward to the next tournament. A loveable kid.” and, he added “Christopher was with us a few years back and he took time out as young lads do. And then I passed him (recently) and he said he wanted to rejoin. I told Christy to come back. He was getting ready with the guys for the next tournament coming up.”

Galway ABB says “boxing has been shaken by the tragic passing of John Keenan and Christopher Stokes overnight. Both young men were well loved members of Olympic BC and were honoured with a moments silence at this morning’s Connacht Championship. Our thoughts & prayers are with their families, friends, coaches and club mates.”

Condolence have been shared with Olympic BC and the young men’s loved ones from across the boxing community:

Irish Athletic Boxing Association athletes will not take part in the IBA Women’s World Championships in India in March, or the IBA Men’s World Championships in Uzbekistan in May. IABA referees and judges will not officiate at either tournament.

The decision was taken on Thursday night, following a joint meeting of the IABA’s Board of Directors, Central Council and Unit representatives.

The IABA urges the IBA to engage in governance reform and implement the recommendations of its own experts on fiscal responsibility, fair play, and inclusion. IBA practices and activities are not of the standard required to secure our sport’s future. There are no winners in the current landscape. All members deserve a level playing field in tournaments run to the highest possible standard by an organization which has their welfare, their futures, and their sport at its heart.

The IABA and its athletes are focused on preparations for the European Games in June, and winning qualification to Paris 2024. That preparation will include training camps, sparring camps and tournaments with sister federations. The IABA will continue to create opportunities for training, development, and competition for its boxers, nationally and internationally, across all age groups.

ENDS.
