British Amateur Boxing Association announces new appointments
The appointment of Kelvyn Travis and Dave Alloway was announced today as the final part of the reconstructed coaching team for the London 2012 campaign.
Kelvyn Travis, a former international boxer, steered Audley Harrison to the gold medal in the Sydney Olympics, while Dave Alloway has until now been the Home Counties Regional Coach and has extensive coaching experience at international level, including the 2004 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
Commenting on the appointment Kevin Hickey, Performance Director of BABA said: "I am pleased to confirm the appointment of Kelvyn and Dave to the programme. Their excellence in boxing coaching will further add strength to the coaching team and I am delighted that two such talented people have agreed to join the team. This is the last in a series of appointments to the coaching team that will be preparing our boxers for the London 2012 Olympics and further."
In addition, it was also announced that Matt Holt, previously Sports Client manager at Sport England, will be joining the team in early May as Programme Director. Matt, reporting to Kevin Hickey, will be responsible for all of the logistics and planning of the programme.
Kevin Hickey said: "Matt is a great appointment for us. Not only does he understand boxing from his time at Sport England, but he will bring expertise and a professionalism to the essential requirement of programme management as based in our new offices and gymnasium in Sheffield."
