Team Ireland’s Aoife O’Rourke is among a select group of just 10 athletes invited to compete in the inaugural Papp Cup.
This is a new intercontinental team boxing competition bringing together the best Elite women and men boxers representing Europe and the Americas taking place in Budapest, Hungary, on November 14th.
The competition is named in honour of László Papp, one of Hungary’s greatest boxers and one
of the most successful Olympic boxers in history. The cup is organised under the authority of European Boxing and Panamerican Boxing Confederation, with the Hungarian Boxing Association (MÖSZ) acting as the Local Organising Committee.
Aoife, a double Olympian & four time continental champion, is the reigning European champion at 75kg. The Castlerea BC boxer is also the reigning World Champion at the weight and will contest against Colombia’s Luisa Montiel.
The event is expected to be live-streamed.
