Building on Birmingham 2022 Success

The Glasgow 2026 Games present another exciting opportunity for Welsh Boxing to build on the momentum and success of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, where Wales achieved a record medal haul in boxing including 2 gold medals from Rosie Eccles and Ioan Croft, 1 silver and 3 bronzes.

We’re confident that our boxers will rise to the occasion and make Wales proud.”
