IABA suspend Irish domestic boxing bouts until at least August

Irish boxing chiefs have suspended all domestic bouts until the start of August at the earliest.

The IABA's board of directors met by conference call on Thursday to consider the effects of the restrictions that were placed on the sport until the 19th of this month due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

During the meeting, it was agreed to extend the cancellation of all boxing activities for affiliated bodies, while all affiliation and insurance requirements for the 2020/21 season will be postponed until at least August.

"All documentation will be provided to the clubs at the appropriate time and all current members will continue to be affiliated and enjoy all such privileges during this time," read an IABA statement.

"The board of the IABA are hopeful that this decision will, to an extent, alleviate some of the concerns that our members are currently experiencing.

"The board will continue to monitor the situation and follow the guidance issued by the HSE and other applicable governmental departments".
