Women’s boxing has scored another result on the world sports stage by being confirmed as part of the 2014 Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow.
There will be competition in the same three weight categories as London 2012, at Flyweight, Lightweight and Middleweight.
Katie Taylor and Claressa Shields who won the latter two will not be eligible to compete being from countries outside the British Commonwealth but one of the stars of the tournament is likely to be Nicola Adams who won Gold in the bout before Taylor’s memorable final back in August.
Emirates airline has secured naming rights for the Commonwealth Arena and the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome which will be used for the games.  They are located close to Celtic Park on the London Road in Glasgow.
The deal which will see the airline brand attached for a minimum of ten years is reported to be worth in the region of €7million.
