The Smackwear Irish-Boxing.com Awards 2018
One regret that has been bugging us here at Irish-Boxing.com over the past 12 months were the lack of an end-of-year awards in 2017.
Without going too into it, it had been hoped that an event could be run and moves were made but sadly it all came to nothing.
Thankfully, though, we are back online for 2018 and are proud to announce the 2018 Irish-Boxing.com Awards in association with Smackwear.
Smackwear.ie are a Dublin fightwear company offering plenty of unique, high-quality designs (check them out here) and we thank Pat White for coming on board and helping us out with this year’s awards.
