Team NI Boxing’s co-captains for the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games have been named as Caitlin Fryers of Immaculata BC, Belfast and Jude Gallagher of Two Castles OBA Tyrone.
Team NI topped the medal table in the ring four years ago in Birmingham with 5 golds and silver and a bronze. Boxing is Team NI’s most successful sport, having won 61 CWG medals, of which 13 are gold.
Caitlin, who contests at 51kg, is a World Youth medalist, a 2022 European Elite silver medalist and multiple Ulster Elite champion. Paris Olympian and fellow multiple Ulster Elite champ, Jude, returns at lighweight, but is the 2022 Birmingham CWG featherweight champion. The pair were selected as Captains by their team-mates.
Boxing at the SEC Centre on the Scottish Event Campus will take place from Friday July 24th to Saturday, August 1st. July 30th is a rest day. Afternoon Sessions will, typically, begin at 11am and Evening Sessions at 6pm.
In advance of the Games and as part of Team NI Boxing’s preparations, Ulster Provincial Council is hosting a 10 day multi-nations training and sapcamp in Belfast, beginning on July 6th.
