IABA chiefs have delivered a strong plea for delegates to embrace the change demanded by Sport Ireland and the government in Sunday's EGM.
Fergal Carruth, the IABA board CEO, describes the choice facing Irish boxing as "pivotal" with Minister for Sport Jack Chambers warning that funding for the sport will immediately be cut by 15% if the structural changes recommended by an independent governance review is not voted in.
Furthermore, the IABA and clubs will not be able to access Dormant Accounts funding, or Sports Capital & Equipment Grants.
