Parity of esteem for female boxers at the LA Olympics. Seven weight divisions for both men and women in 2028 (There were 6 for females in Paris) IABA decide on Saturday whether to continue Ireland’s proud tradition in Olympic boxing #LA28boxing

New rules but old (and bad) habits remain. No surprise of course as Jim McGuinness has form here. He names a dummy team - so three late changes. I cannot understand why the GAA doesn’t stamp this out. Simple: every change made after team announced counts as a substitution #gaa

This is a hoot! For years the GAA has insisted that due to Gdpr issues they could not publish players’ DOBs, heights and weights in match programmes. No such issues for Leinster Rugby who also included the same details for their Academy players #gaa https://t.co/uGGBN4eiTu

Bloodless win for Kerry (1-18; 1-12). Mayo threatened briefly in second half which lasted 42 minutes but enforced turnovers betrayed them. David Clifford hit 5 wides but was leading scorer with 0-8 (4f). Kerry subdued Matthew Ruane & Ryan O’Donoghue which was crucial #mayokerry

Kerry and Mayo both struggling to win own kick out (Kerry 7 from 12, Mayo 6/14 ). But Kerry more clinical; 10 scores from 15 chances; Mayo 7/14. Ryan O’Donoghue’s 2pt free miss in injury time symbolised their wastefulness as they trail 0-7; 1-9 at HT Attendance 21,596 #kerrymayo

Ring Magazine is reporting that the International Boxing Federation (IBF) has ordered an immediate rematch between Paddy Donovan and Lewis Croker. Donovan was controversially disqualified by the referee when ahead on points in first bout in Belfast #donovancroker

It is a measure of the abject failure of the GAA to properly market their games that Kevin McStay’s speech to the Connacht rugby squad is getting more publicity than Mayo’s participation in the DI league final. I cannot understand why sponsors like Alliance put up with this #gaa

Yet again incredible finish to the GAA’s version of super Sunday. The league is the GAA’s most under rated competition, though the finals should be abolished. It’s a farce that so much time is now devoted to provincial championships which are mostly irrelevant #GAALeagueTables

RT @GavanCasey: This is terrific

Boxing is officially restored to the Olympic programme for LA28. World Boxing now needs to tackle boxing’s bogeyman: the standard of judging. Presumably the IABA clubs will now vote in favour of joining World Boxing though it is not a foregone conclusion #LA28

Some very sad news to bring you. Former Formula 1 team owner and television pundit Eddie Jordan has passed away at the age of 76. He had been battling prostate cancer for the past 12 months. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time. https://t.co/q81EPSmVRT

Note the name: Callum Walsh. The Cobh native is set to become a household name in pro boxing in the not too distant future. Thankfully his opponent was able to leave the ring unaided #kingcallumwalsh

Boxing moves closer to being restored to the programme for the LA Olympics 2028 with World Boxing running the tournament. Irish boxers including World silver medallists Aoife and Lisa O’Rourke are currently not eligible to compete in LA due to the IABA’s allegiance to IBA #LA28
