The IABA would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank all of our clubs who have fully complied with the government restrictions throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. The response you have made to the public health crisis caused by Covid-19 has been outstanding.

The IABA are fully cognisant of the stress and frustration being felt throughout our boxing family due to the current lockdown. These feelings are entirely understandable and are in line with the general feelings being felt by many throughout society.

However, it is of the utmost importance that all members and clubs continue to adhere to the government restrictions from both a legal and moral perspective. A huge amount of sacrifice and hard work has been conducted throughout this unprecedented period by IABA members to help supress the spread of this deadly virus. It remains of the utmost importance that this work continues and that we hold firm and fight this virus until the final bell.

All members are reminded that we are currently in the highest level of lockdown, which in turn means there can be absolutely no organised club training or events at this time.
