The next outings for Irish boxing are the European U/22 Championships in Russia and the Senior Open Cadet Championships in Dublin.
Both tournaments begin on March 8. Team Ireland leave for Russia next Monday.
The Esker BC travel to the UK on Saturday to cross swords with Cornwall in the first of the Clash of the Celts Series.
Aside from Ireland, the progressive Dublin club will take on the six other historic Celtic nations of Cornwall, Galicia, Isle of Man, Scotland, Wales and Britany.
The Celtic nations are territories in western Europe where Celtic cultural traits have survived. The term “nation” is used in its classical sense to identify a people who share a common identity and culture.
“Probably one of the strongest teams we’ve ever assembled flies out next Friday to take on the best boxers that Cornwall boxing has in front of 700 spectators on Saturday March 2nd in Redruth, Cornwall, said the Esker BC.
”We’ll be going live on Facebook for all bouts.Going to be a fantastic trip and return in Dublin in a few months. It’s looking like Scotland in September for the second leg of our Celtic Nations (Clash of the Celts) Series.”

Carly McNaul “nose” it was a tough one against former World Junior medallist Niamh Earley in last Saturday’s flyweight final.
The Holy Familly GG stand out claimed the flyweight title with legendary coach Gerry Storey in her corner
“I’m a bit busted up. You want to see my nose – I look like the elephant woman,” she laughed.
“I’m a very slow starter, it always takes me a bit to get going, so I’d say she got the first round and then I came on.
“The way I start slow, I have all my family and friends with their hearts in the mouths watching me, thinking ‘Carly, what are you doing?’ But as long as you get the job done, that’s what matters.
“It’s better to win badly than to lose well, isn’t it?”
