IABA chief says we can become Cubans of Europe

A leading Irish boxing official has predicted Ireland could have 10 boxers qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio in four years’ time.

The Irish Amateur Boxing Association’s (IABA) Director of Boxing said they were overwhelmed by the support at then ExCel Arena.

“We have six boxers in all here but, with a little bit of luck, we could have had more,” he said.
