Belfast Lord Mayor Niall Ó Donnghaile will honour the city’s past, present and future Olympic Games boxing stars at the Belfast City Hall on February 24.
The city’s first citizen, a sports enthusiast, will welcome some of the greatest sporting athletes to emerge from the city to represent Ireland and GB in the greatest sporting event on earth.
Paddy Barnes
A veritable who’s who of amateur boxing will attend the reception in honour and recognition of their achievements in the ring, and at the Olympic Games.
Stretching back to 1928, Belfast has punched above its weight by claiming a total of two silver and five bronze medals.
This event, which has been organised by the Belfast Boxing Ring, aims to showcase the achievements of the local amateur fraternity and inspire the local boxers attending the Olympic Games in London this year.
Michael Conlan (red) in action
Secretary of the Belfast Boxing Ring, Barry Flynn, said that the gathering will be an historic one and will provide an opportunity for many old friendships to be rekindled.
He added: “The city has a pedigree in amateur boxing that is truly remarkable. When you consider the wealth of talent Belfast has produced at Olympic level, it can only but inspire young boxers today to emulate such achievements.

John Joe Nevin
Powerhouses Cuba served notice that they will be one of the ones to beat at the London Olympics with a five-star display at the Strandja Memorial finals in Sofia, Bulgaria on Sunday.
The Cubans claimed five gold medals at the tournament which featured 12 World champions.
One of those medals was secured by way of a walkover by super-heavyweight Erislandy Savon, a nephew of the legendary Felix Savon, a six-time World and three-time Olympic champion.
Bulgarian flyweight Stefan Ivanov, meanwhile, stopped Andrew Selby of Wales in the third round of their 52Kg duel.
Selby won a silver medal at the 2011 AIBA World Championships and is the current European champion.
Turkey's Gulsum Tatar beat China's Liu Chang in the women's lightweight final.
Tatar, who has been beaten twice by Katie Taylor, is the current AIBA World and European light-welterweight champion.
However, she has now dropped down from 64Kg to the 60Kg Olympic limit.
Chang beat her compatriot Cheng Dong - who Taylor beat in the last two AIBA World finals - to win gold at the Chinese National Championships.
