'Ireland's loss' says Kellie Harrington as Bernard Dunne named India's new high-performance director

Bernard Dunne has been confirmed as Indian boxing's director of high performance on a five-year contract.

Dublin champion Kellie Harrington has said it's Ireland's loss and India's gain as the news was confirmed. 42-year-old Dunne left a similar position with the Irish Amateur Boxing Association in May.

He took extended leave after guiding Ireland's boxing team to two medals at the Tokyo Olympics. Dunne didn't return to his role with the association due to a pre-Games controversy that saw him close to quitting the post - when a document was distributed to the IABA board critical of his stewardship of the high-performance unit.
