Tomorrow, 7 Irish boxers contest the final Olympic boxing qualifier in Bangkok, hoping to punch their ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
This year in 2024, as part of Team Ireland’s 100-year celebrations, we unveiled an Olympic plaque in Tokyo 2020 Olympian, Emmet Brennan’s very own gym, to recognise his achievements along with inspiring others to follow in his footsteps.
