Six wins from 6 today for Team Ireland at the World of Havoc Tournament in Orlando, Florida – meaning Ireland has a 100% win record from 16 bouts, to date.

Sanctioned by USA Boxing, a founder member of World Boxing, World of Havoc is a Tier 1 event. Contesting this tournament was made possible by IABA clubs’ decision in April to also affiliate to World Boxing, on a dual member basis. World Boxing, which will run boxing at the LA28 Olympic Games, affirmed IABA as a member in May.

57kg Vanessa Doyle finally go underway today – she had, initially, been scheduled to box on Wednesday. She was the first Irish boxer in action in Orlando, contesting against Ohioan Khris-La’shay Atkins, and came away with a 5-0 win. 54kg Conan McSorley has recorded his third consecutive win of the Tournament, with a unanimous decision win over his opponent, Luis Athon Velazquez Socarras, while 57kg Kalib Walsh did likewise against his Floridian, Ariel Rivera. So too did 48kg Emmet Shields, against Indiana’s De’juane Dycus. Team Co-Captain 60kg Jason Donohue was decisive in his victory – his second of the tournament. 66kg Darren O’Toole made his debut with a split decision win over Texan, Izaziah Ramirez.

46kg Martin Nevin was scheduled to box today, but his bout was cancelled.

The team is comprised of 2025 National Senior Cadet Champions in 25 of the 34 weights contested in May’s championships. It includes boxers from 10 counties: Antrim, Cork, Dublin, Donegal, Galway, Laois, Tipperary, Tyrone, Westmeath, Wexford.
