New National Elite Championships Date Confirmed

The IABA has confirmed the date for the next Elite National Championships.

The governing body earmarked November for the tournament earlier this year, but today revealed that Irish boxing’s blue ribbon competition will be pushed back to early next year.

The Elite National Championships will now be played in January 2023, beginning on January 6 with Finals night taking place on January 14.

The last installment of the national competition was held in September 2021, which means there will be no National Elites in 2022.

However, there will be two in 2023 with a second National Elites scheduled for October 2023.

With changes to the Olympic qualification structure, the upcoming Elites should be huge and with so much at stake, possibly the most exciting in years.

The new date came to light when the Central Council Board of Officials issued the boxing calendar for the 12 months beginning in October 2022.

The dates of some national qualifying competitions may be subject to change, should the EUBC schedule change.
