IABA Statement 9.11.2018

The IABA can confirm that it voted for the defeated Kazak candidate Serik Konakbayev in the AIBA Presidential election last week. It is unusual for the IABA, as is the case with most national federations, to reveal how they voted in an election but given, the intense commentary surrounding this particular election it was felt by the Board of Directors and Central Council, that it was in the best interests of Irish boxing to do so in this instance.

It is Central Council that decide how the IABA vote is to be cast in all AIBA elections and as always, the vote is utilised so as to best further and protect the interests of boxing as a sport. Our decision was made following careful consideration of what was in the best interests of the sport and without any further information on the President other than that what we have learned through the media.

The IABA remain concerned about the future Olympic status of boxing given the outcome of the election particularly, given that boxing remains Ireland’s most successful Olympic sport ever. We acknowledge that there remains significant confusion in the aftermath of the AIBA election but are hopeful that the International Olympic Committee (the “IOC”) and AIBA can reach resolution on the issues between them. The IABA is committed to assisting in any way possible to achieve that end.

We are comforted by a number of factors not least, the IOC’s commitment to the athletes, the boxers, that they will not be penalised as well as the AIBA President’s comments that if a choice has to be made between boxing in the Olympics and one man that there is no choice.

The IABA will not be commenting any further on this matter.

END.

Squad training for Boy 3 Champions and Boy 4 Champions plus any Cadet Champions at those ages in 2018 should attend squad training this Sunday, November 11th from 11am – 3:30pm in the High Performance Gym at the National Boxing Stadium.

Antrim bantam Kurt Walker booked his ticket into the last eight of the EU Championships in impressive style in Valladolid, Spain today.

But Irish captain Dean Gardiner and Conor Quinn lost on 4-1 split decisions.

Walker, who earned one 10-8 score, repeatedly caught Bulgaria’s Stefan Ivanov with rapid-fire body and head combinations to move to within one win of at least bronze.

The European Elite medallist will now meet Poland after his victory over an experienced opponent who has reached the last-eight of most of the European tournaments he’s entered since 2011.

Quinn bowed out to Rosenov Banbakov, also of Bulgaria. The first and third rounds of the flyweight bout – in which Banbakov’s left looked threatening but never quite delivered – were close and cagey affairs.

Quinn, who landed the shot of the contest – a straight right down the middle – in the second, finished out the round with a solid combination.

Gardiner,, as expected, was involved in a hard-punching three rounder with England’s Frazer Clarke, the current Commonwealth super heavy champion.

Neither man had to go looking for each other, with Gardiner, who pressed forward for most of the contest, regularly detonating solid shots on the inside against the European Elite silver medallist.

“All boxers gave their all, couldn’t ask for more. Kurt Walker was outstanding today. Conor Quinn and Dean Gardiner gave fantastic performances,” said Irish team manager Stephen Molloy.

Kieran Molloy and Kiril Afanasev are in action tomorrow.
