• BBC Website Last Updated: Tuesday, 8 August 2006, 09:46 GMT 10:46 UK Commonwealth boxing event blocked Plans to stage next year's Commonwealth Amateur Boxing Championships in Belfast next June are in major doubt. The Irish Amateur Boxing Association has refused to grant permission for the event because the EC Championships will take place in Dublin in late June. Over 20 countries were scheduled to compete in the event which had been pencilled in for the Waterfront Hall. Ulster Boxing president Pat McCrory will continue to battle to resolve the issue but he is not optimistic.

BBC Website Last Updated: Tuesday, 4 July 2006, 12:11 GMT 13:11 UK Waterfront to host amateur event The Waterfront Hall in Belfast has been confirmed as the venue for the amateur boxing Commonwealth Championships next year, starting on Monday 4 June. Pat McCrory, president of the Ulster Council, expects it to be one of the biggest sporting events in the city since the World Seniors five years ago. "There has been a lot of interest from countries wishing to take part," McCrory told the Irish News. "I would expect at least 23 countries to confirm they will enter teams."
