Where is the 2010 Youth World Championship being held?

Post by DCAmateurBoxing »

On the usaboxing.org site it says Baku, but I thought Baku was where the Jr. World's were held where we send our National Jr. Olympic champions to compete. On AIBA's site, it says the 2010 Youth Worlds is in Grenoble or Nice, France.

So, where are the winners of the U-19 going? Baku or France??

Ok, I think that's right. On this page http://www.aiba.org/default.aspx?pId=2991#, the right hand side has all the editions and includes last year's Mexico. It says 2010 is in France. Thx.

The 2010 World Youths were supposed to be held in Calais, France from 15-24 april. Then they had to move the tournament because the french didn´t have enough hotel rooms (?). Now it´s gonna be held in Azerbaijan and they moved the date one week to 20 april-2 maj so I will miss it :x .

We had a HW in our club destined to go, having won his last 3 national titles in a row and on the Irish High Performance Squad, he wouldve walked through his national final but broke his thumb badly in the semis( had to get it wired together or whatever), won the semi 10-1 anyway. Now theyre not even sending the lad who won it and our fellas in a cast for 6 weeks so wont be fit for it :(

I'm not sure where the JOs are going because in the past they have gone to the Cadet Worlds in Baku, but it's held over other year. It's now called the Jr. World Championships, but it won't be until 2011. It was held in '07 and '09. http://www.aiba.org/default.aspx?pId=2907#

U19 are going to the Youth Worlds which was in Guadalajara, Mexico last year. This year it will be in Baku also, apparently.
