Irish Boxing Team prepare for World’s

London 2012 Olympic medallists John Joe Nevin, Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlan will each move up a weight for a 4-Nations tournament in Berck, France this weekend.

Ireland will meet France, Poland and the Ukraine at the tournament as part of their preparations for the AIBA World Elite Championships in Almaty, Kazakhstan in October.

Barnes moves up from light-fly to fly,  Nevin from bantam to lightweight, and Conlan from fly to bantamweight.

Jason Quigley,  current European Elite champion, is also included in the squad, along with 2011 European Elite champion Joe Ward.

Ward will get his first competitive outing since he twisted his knee at the European Elite Championships in Belarus in June.
