The AIBA World Men’s and Women’s Youth Championships will begin in Kielce, Poland on April 10, according to the International Boxing Association (AIBA).
The AIBA President Umar Kremlev visited Poland on January 23rd for an official meeting with the Polish Boxing Association President Grzegorz Nowaczek who informed the AIBA President about the status of the preparation work for the tournament.
“It is understandable that the global pandemic situation is of concern for everybody, but the Local Organizing Committee will have the full support of the Polish Government and Sports Ministry, which will allow the entrance of the participants without any restrictions. The only requirement would be the negative results of the COVID-19 test,” Kremlev said.
“The Polish Boxing Association continues to work hard towards hosting the event on the scheduled dates, April 10-24, 2021, and AIBA is determined to render all the necessary help to make it a success even in these difficult times.
“In current circumstances giving up all the work that has already been done is easy, but I believe that together we are strong enough to ensure that all safety measures are taken into consideration to protect our athletes and give them a long-waited-for opportunity to compete at the international level.

The International Olympic Committee Boxing Task Force (BTF) is expected to confirm the host city and date for the European Olympic qualifiers on February 17.
The event was scheduled to go ahead in London in April but was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The BTF decided the European Qualifier for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 boxing tournament will no longer be taking place in London in April,” the BTF said.
“The decision was taken in light of the current situation (Covid 19) and increased travel restrictions to/from the UK and taking into consideration the feedback received from the European Boxing Federations and National Olympic Committees (NOCs).
“The BTF is currently evaluating all possible options (including April in another location) and will provide an update regarding the European qualifier on 17 February 2021.
“The BTF would like to express its gratitude to the British Olympic Association, GB Boxing, UK Sport and all their stakeholders involved for their great commitment and efforts in supporting us during these extremely difficult and ever-evolving times.”
So far, the Africa and Asia/Oceania qualifiers have been completed and the Americas qualifiers are scheduled for next May.
The European qualifiers were abandoned because of the Covid-19 pandemic after three days last March, with sixteen flyweights and featherweights, including Irish captain Brendan Irvine, qualified for Tokyo.
The final World qualification event is scheduled for June at a host city to be confirmed.
Boxing has joined the program for the 2023 European Games in Kraków-Małopolska.
Boxing featured at the last two European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2015 and Minsk, Belarus in 2019 and along with shooting has been confirmed as the seventh and eighth sports to sign up for the 2023 Games.
European Boxing Confederation (EUBC) President Franco Falcinelli is delighted that the sport’s involvement in the European Games is continuing in Poland.
“The EUBC is particularly pleased to participate with the best athletes from its 50 National Federations at the third European Games Kraków-Małopolska 2023, he said.
“Since Baku 2015, we have been fervent supporters of this long-awaited competition, which has given continental Olympic sports an extraordinary message of innovation, capacity and organisational sustainability.”
Katie Taylor and Michael O’Reilly won double gold at the 2015 Games in Baku, and Brendan Irvine (silver) and Sean McComb (bronze) also finished in podium positions.
Rio 2016 and Tokyo Olympian Irvine was edged out on a split decision by Russia’s Bator Sagaluyev in the light-fly final six years ago.
Elsewhere, Kurt Walker (gold), Kellie Harrington (silver), Michaela Walsh (silver), Michael Nevin (bronze), Grainne Walsh (bronze) and Regan Buckley (bronze) claimed medals at the 2019 edition of the Games in Minsk which was doubling up as the Men’s European Championships.
