BOXING:The Irish Amateur Boxing Association (IABA) travel to Germany today for their last competitive tournament before naming their squad for this year's World Championships and Olympic qualifiers in Chicago in October.

The IABA will name at least a six-man squad for Chicago, although they could include one extra for the tournament which has attracted a record 118 nations.

Four of the places on the Chicago squad have been filled meaning there are two or three places up for grabs for the World Championships which also act as the first qualifying tournament for the Beijing Olympics.

Ireland will be competing against Germany and France in Heidelberg this week.
