Carruth hopes to take fight to next level

There’s been little time to sit back and relax for newly appointed IABA CEO Fergal Carruth.

With boxing commanding more and more attention after the glory of the Olympics the issues have become bigger and bigger.

Former Drimnagh boxer Carruth, younger brother of Barcelona 1992 gold medallist Michael, ascended to the top job at the National Stadium in late October following the retirement of Don Stewart. His first objective is to breathe new life into an association that is seen as old-fashioned in its business dealings while remaining successful on the international stage.
