The Irish Athletic Boxing Association has announced that the suspension of all boxing activities will remain in place until at least August 10.
IABA's Board of Directors met via teleconference and agreed to the extension due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
"This timeline is in line with the Government’s Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business and will be reviewed in line with further Government and HSE guidance," they said in a statement.
"For clarity, this includes all championships, competition, organised training (indoor or outdoor) and any other boxing related events.
"As such no insurance covers of IABA, for Provinces, County Boards, Clubs and individuals are operational during this period. IABA insurance re personal accident, covers affiliated members who are injured as a result of an accident at an official IABA event or during official club training.
"This policy does not cover individuals training at their own discretion.
"The Board has further directed that there will be no championships or competition allowed to take place at club, county, provincial or national level until at the earliest, late September 2020. This timeline may too be extended."
The statement added: "The Board of the IABA will continue to monitor the situation and follow the guidance issued by the HSE and other applicable governmental departments."
