Dunne: Box-offs could decide Olympic places

Box-offs could be used to determine who represents Ireland at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, according to Bernard Dunne, high-performance director for the Irish Amateur Boxing Association.

After several high-profile stars such as Kellie Harrington, Brendan Irvine, and Kurt Walker missed last week’s National Senior Finals in Dublin, the IABA is facing a selection headache in the months ahead given the national champion is traditionally in pole position in the race for international selection.
