See attached the results from the 2022 IATBA Championships. Another successful event following a fallow period due to Covid.
The IATBA committee would like to thank all the boxers who entered and participated, the third-level institution Sports Officers who ensured a smooth and easy access to the event for their boxers, the coaches who do trojan work to prepare their boxers and not forgetting all the referees and judges who facilitated an excellent championship. A massive thanks must also go to the National Stadium Manager Dave McCartney, without his help and assistance, events like these would never take place.
