Riverstown Boxing Club

Congratulations to our Head Coach Ted Barry who is on duty as Judge with Boxing Ireland at the Four Nations Championships in Glasgow this weekend .

Thanks to Padraig Bracken , Principle of St Joseph’s National School, Riverstown for all the hard work and of course all the teacher's and staff.

Katie Taylor continues to tour the country!

Thanks to Katie Taylor and Brian Peters for sharing so much time with staff and students at Riverstown National School this morning and also with our Boxers.

An incredible morning in Riverstown this morning welcoming Katie Taylor to St Joseph’s National School .
What an incredible atmosphere around the School and Katie was just fantastic .
You could hear a pin drop when Katie spoke as hundreds of kids were left in awe .

Finally confirmed.

Now, as Katie Taylor announces that her final fight will take place on home soil on September 5th, boxing prepares to celebrate a career that transcends medals, titles and records.

Olympic gold medallist | Five-time World Champion | Two-weight undisputed world champion.

For more than twenty years, Katie has defined excellence in boxing.

She transformed women's boxing, and contested the first women’s bout in our federation in 2001. She inspired a generation of athletes and carried Irish sport to places few could have imagined. From the amateur ranks to the bright lights of the professional game, she never stopped raising the standard.

One of the greatest athletes this country has ever produced.
One of the most influential figures in the history of boxing.
One of the very best to ever do it.

Katie will box her final fight against Flora Pili at Croke Park on 5 September.

A busy Bank Holiday Weekend for the Club.
Saturday in Mitchelstown as part of the support Bouts for the Ireland 🇮🇪 v Netherlands 🇳🇱 International held by Munster Council Michael Dooley was in top form .
In control in all three rounds against a very good opponent from St Pauls Nenagh , Michael claimed a unanimous decision win.
Meanwhile in Connemara , Co Galway at the West of Ireland Novice Competition eight of our Boxers got a huge amount of rounds between exhibitions and contests , Coaches Colin Barry and Brian Nolan were delighted with the way our lads performed over the two days against very good opposition.
Well done to Jake Heaphy, Johnny McDonagh, James Rodgers and Mia Murphy all ten year olds of our under age group and John O Driscoll, Patrick McCarthy, Conor Lee and Evan Fawzi from our competition group . The two days will stand to all eight Boxers in the future.
