A brilliant day's sparring in Banbridge for Brooke & Madina, organised as part of a Dublin Boxing Board sparring trip. Thanks to everyone who made it happen, and congrats to our Ericka to being on the coaching team!
Our coaches Igor and Ericka introduced these great players from Maximum Performance Academy to the cardio, endurance and discipline elements of boxing - it's a great way to change-up training, build new skills and sample new sport! Best of luck for the season, lads!
Well done to our Madina, putting in a great performance to win her Dublin Boxing Board Junior 2 60kg semi final against a tough opponent in Sophie Davidson of Esker.
Madina is back in action tomorrow, boxing her final against West Finglas.
Massive congrats to our Ryan Saratiu on winning his Dublin Novice Champion semi-final against a tough lad from St. Mary's. Ryan is back in action boxing his final next week.
So proud of our Mickey and Jacob - our Boy 2 50kg champ and 31kg silver medalist. They’ve trained so hard this seasons and that hard work is really paying off. Congrats, lads 👌👏
Thanks so much to Kellie Harrington for hosting an amazing training session today on the Portland Row pitch for our Brooke and Madina, along with 30 other boxers from clubs across Dublin.
Brilliant for all of them to train together and to train with Kellie 🥊🥊
A very busy weekend for SBC: Ciara boxed in the Zagreb Queen tournament and came home with silver, and Obi, Andrés and Ronan put in great performances in the National Intermediate Championships.
Always learning 🥊
What an honour for our Brooke and Madina to box in Kellie Harrington's show in the magical surroundings of The Round Room in Dublin's Mansion House.
A wonderful showcase of Dublin boxing, with great exhibition bouts for SBC against Layla Kelly and Macie Field of Baldoyle 🥊
Reflections | Zauri Antia.
Ireland’s former High Performance Head Coach, Zauri Antia, is reflecting on his 22 year career with IABA: the highs, the lows, and the people he met on his incredible boxing journey here.
Zauri stepped down on November 19th, after a career in IABA which included 5 Olympic Games, 10 Olympic medals and over 150 benchmark medals.
Internationally respected for his technical expertise, innovative coaching style, Zauri’s goal has always been to develop the Universal Boxer, one “who can fight any distance, any style” and his coaching has focused on ringcraft, attack and counterattack. He is immensely proud of all of the boxers he has coached and says “ I have loved every moment of my time with Irish Boxing”

To mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the IABA is proud to celebrate the High Five Boxing Academy and the boxers, families, and clubs that make it an inspiring part of our community.
Launched in 2021 across four Dublin clubs, Drimnagh Boxing Club, Crumlin Boxing Club St Catherine’s Boxing Club and Palmerstown by Paddy Dingle High Five was created to offer children with additional needs, and their families, a welcoming place within boxing.
Since then, the programme has been embraced by the IABA and has become a valued part of 13 clubs across the Association. Tralee Boxing Club, Monivea Boxing Club, St Pauls Antrim A.B.C, Drimnagh Boxing Club, and Crumlin Boxing Club have come together to share how High Five has enriched their clubs and strengthened their communities.
When competition is removed, boxing becomes uniquely adaptable and is shaped around each boxer’s abilities, goals, and pace. It’s this flexibility, combined with coaches’ instinctive commitment to inclusion, that makes High Five so special.
