O’Hara called up to Irish Squad for Ukraine friendly

By IABA Press Officer Bernard O’Neill

Kristina O’Hara has been called up to the Irish squad from Friday’s Elite international with the Ukraine at Dublin’s National Stadium.

Emma Agnew is also included on the Irish panel for the meeting at the home of Irish boxing.

Meanwhile, Elaine Harrison and Cheyanne O’Neill have been included on the Irish panel for Saturday’s clash with the Ukraine at the St Brigid’s BC in Kildare.

Moira McElliggot and Louis Donohue have withdrawn from the Irish team because of work commitments and a hand injury.

AIBA World No. 8 ranked welterweight Clare Grace will line out versus the Ukraine on Friday and Saturday, along with Irish Youth Olympian Christina Desmond, a World Youth silver medallist, who Grace, a European Elite bronze medallist, beat on a split decision in January’s Elite 69kg final.

Irish women’s boxing is proudly sponsored by Quick Park of Dublin Airport.
