Irish boxer Amy Broadhurst thinks her chances of competing at the Paris Olympics are over.

The World, European and Commonwealth Games champion says the Irish Athletic Boxing Association [IABA] has informed her that she will not be assessed for the second World Qualifying tournament, which is due to take place at the end of May in Bangkok.

According to Broadhurst, the High Performance Unit want to assess the 27-year-old and another world champion, Lisa O’Rourke, for the upcoming European Championships instead of sending them to Thailand.

She says that will not be happening.

“It’s a bit of a mess and I’m struggling to wrap my head around what is going on,” she told BBC Sport NI.

“I’ve let my psychologist know to let them know that I won’t be up in the high performance centre for the foreseeable future, and I’ll be really thinking about not going back up at all.”

When contacted by BBC Sport NI, IABA had no comment to make in response to Broadhurst’s remarks, as selection across all weights has yet to be made.

It appears that Irish champion Grainne Walsh will be selected to go to Thailand, although selection for the Olympic qualifier has not been made yet.

The Offaly boxer narrowly missed out on making the Paris Olympics earlier this month when she suffered a surprising split decision defeat in the quota bout.

Broadhurst was under the impression that the three boxers in line for selection would be assessed together for the opportunity to be selected for the Thailand qualifier.

Her belief now is that no longer will happen.

“Grainne performed well at the qualifiers but, with all due respect, against average boxers, not the likes of the Turks or the Chinese,” Broadhurst said.

“That Polish girl who beat her [Aneta Rygielska] won’t medal at the Olympics. And if you’re looking at results and everything, I’ve beaten that same Pole 5-0, so I honestly don’t know the thinking process.”
