IABA secretary quits as ‘leaders not putting boxing first’

The secretary of the Irish Athletic Boxing Association (IABA) has resigned amid a deepening boardroom crisis within the organisation.

Al Morris was considering his position over the weekend but waited until yesterday to officially throw in the towel.

“After long deliberation and great sadness, I feel I have no alternative but to hand in my resignation as honorary secretary of IABA,” he said in his resignation letter.
