Matthew Kennedy from Ontario Boxing Association said ‘We had been looking to get more involved in the Irish Boxing programming as it relates to our system well. I was introduced to Michael Carruth at the High Performance centre (former location) in Dublin. I also met Fergal Carruth, the CEO of the Irish Assoc – IABA and spoke about our respective organizations and the potential opportunities to work together.”
“Now we see the Carruth’s (Triplets!) bringing a strong team of boxers from the esteemed Drimnagh Boxing Club. They arrive to work with Ontario’s top athletes in training camps held on the Friday and Saturday. We then Box off against our matched Boxers on Sunday and Tuesday!”
