Walsh confident Irish boxers can provide Olympic delight

HIGH performance coach Billy Walsh has underscored his belief that all six of Ireland’s boxing team can come home with medals from the Olympics in London.

The team assembled at the National Stadium yesterday for the final time before they head off to the final pre-Olympic training camp in Assisi, from where they travel to London.

The five men who have qualified were all present at boxing headquarters where the IABA president, Tommy Murphy, spoke of the high expectations.
