To mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the IABA is proud to celebrate the High Five Boxing Academy and the boxers, families, and clubs that make it an inspiring part of our community. Launched in 2021 across four Dublin clubs, Drimnagh, Crumlin, St. Catherine’s, and Palmerstown, High Five was created to offer children with additional needs, and their families, a welcoming place within boxing. Since then, the programme has been embraced by the IABA and has become a valued part of 13 clubs across the Association. Tralee Boxing Club, Monivea Boxing Club, St. Paul’s BC Belfast, Drimnagh Boxing Club, and Crumlin Boxing Club have come together to share how High Five has enriched their clubs and strengthened their communities. When competition is removed, boxing becomes uniquely adaptable and is shaped around each boxer’s abilities, goals, and pace. It’s this flexibility, combined with coaches’ instinctive commitment to inclusion, that makes High Five so special.
