Michaela Walsh and Jude Gallagher are selected for this summer's Commonwealth Games after both won gold in Birmingham 2022
Northern Ireland's 12-strong boxing team for this summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow has been confirmed with a mix of past winners and newcomers.
Gold medallists from the 2022 edition in Birmingham, Michaela Walsh and Jude Gallagher, are back to lead the team as co-captains and they are the only survivors of the five gold medals won four years ago.
Belfast's Walsh improved on her silver medal finishes at Glasgow 2014 and Gold Coast 2018 top the podium and returns to defend her featherweight crown, while County Tyrone's Gallagher steps up to lightweight this time following his featherweight success in Birmingham.
Both competed at the recent World Boxing Cup in Brazil, as did Belfast pair Jon McConnell and Louis Rooney who will make their Commonwealth Games' bow.
