Senior ABA quarter and semi finals
The ABAE Senior championship quarter and semi finals will take place on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th April 2008 at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield.
The 120th Senior Championships takes place during a year when the spotlight is on amateur boxing like never before. Eight members of the ABAE's elite squad have qualified for the Beijing Olympics in August and many of the athletes competing in Sheffield next weekend have already been identified as potential London 2012 medalists.
If successful in Sheffield, athletes will go through to the finals at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Friday May 16th.
