In a statement by the Ulster Boxing Council they quoted...

"We are very very disappointed that additional funding was not agreed tonight at Belfast City Council in support of Belfast City hosting the European Schools boy and school girls championships 2020.

The first major amateur boxing event to come to the city in almost 20 years.

An event that will bring 1.5/2million to the City’s economy.

An event that will bring 10,000+ visitors over the 10 day event.An event that has never came to this city before."
