As with all other sports a NI boxer could choose to compete for Ireland or Great Britain.

The NI Assembly don't have the power to influnce the establishment of a NI boxing association. The majority of clubs there would have to vote in favour of a split at an EGM of the IABA.

I would expect Ulster to continue to say "NO".
