Re: Amateurs representing more than 1 Country
Fury tried to box in the Irish championships to get on their Olympic team but IABA would not let him fight as he was a British citizen at the time and could not prove he was a resident of NI/Ireland.moorser wrote:tyson fury fought for both england and ireland as he was born in england to irish parents

Re: Amateurs representing more than 1 Country
Good list loco.
I wander what happened to Keith Tapia. He had talent and personality. I thought he was going to be the next Ali. He was the outstanding boxer at a junior tournament in Baku. He would be up in the stands entertaining the local fans. They loved him plus he could box. I know he tried to make the PR Olympic team but he lived in NYC and last I heard, he was running the streets. I hope he makes it back into the ring one day.
