Graduation | Diploma in Leadership & Management
7 February 2026 by Ciara Plunkett
29 women, including Olympians Michaela Walsh and Grainne Walsh, have today graduated with a Professional Diploma in Leadership and Management as part of a collaboration between Boxing Ireland and Longford College.

This is the first partnership of it’s kind between Boxing Ireland and an institute of further learning.

The professional diploma course modules included an exploration of strategic management frameworks and leadership styles, identification of gender-related challenges in leadership, navigating organizational structures, active mentorship, networking and promotional strategies. Learnings from the course will assist graduates in their sporting, volunteering and professional lives.

The participants, from 24 clubs in counties Antrim, Cork, Down, Donegal, Dublin, Kerry, Leitrim, Monaghan, Sligo, Tyrone & Wicklow, formally graduated today at a ceremony in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport.

President’s Awards were bestowed by Longford College President Emeritus, Prof. Vincent on Shirley Kenny, Elaine Lavin, Sophie Doolan and Aine McLaughlin. Aine is currently managing a Team Ireland team in international action against Scotland in Glasgow, and could not be present to accept her accolade.

The commencement address was delivered by Boxing Ireland CEO, Gary Stewart. He said ” Today is a proud day for boxing Ireland, for you our graduates and your families. But I don’t see it as the end of your journey but only the start. Visibility matters. When women lead, it changes culture. It improves decision-making, accountability, and belonging. Balance makes organisations stronger, boxing included.”

Gary adds “Boxing teaches us that no one succeeds alone. We all need people in our corner. Allyship is how change actually happens: women backing women, and men in boxing stepping up. You’ve earned your place as leaders. And I want to be clear about my own role too: I’m committed to being an ally using my voice, challenging the gaps, and helping open doors so leadership in boxing starts to reflect the people who give so much to it. Boxing is about courage. Today proves that courage looks like women leading and lifting the whole sport with them. “

Congratulations to all graduates, their clubs and families on a wonderful achievement.

🥊 Best Female Boxer – Barum Box Cup 2025 🥊

The winner of the Best Female Boxer Belt at the Barum Box Cup went to Lexi Philips of Sturminster Newton ABC 👏

Lexi boxed twice over the weekend and looked the business in each bout. A superb boxer who puts her shots together so well – naturally skilled, determined, and hungry to keep growing in her sport. 💥

We really hope this belt pushes you on to another superb season, Lexi. Keep up the hard work – all of us at the Barum Box Cup say a huge WELL DONE! 🏆👏

Keep shining, Lexi – your future is the brightest! ✨

🏆 Wendy Macey Boxer of the Tournament Cup 🥊

The winner of the Wendy Macey Boxer of the Tournament, kindly and expertly chosen by Billy Macey, went to Martin “Nipper” Ward of Rainham Boxing Club.

Billy was meticulous in watching all the boxers throughout the tournament, even speaking to the ones he had his eye on. To win this award, a boxer must not only show great skill in the ring but also carry themselves with respect and class outside of it – representing boxing in the best light.

Martin embodies all of this and more. Ultra-talented, he stopped every one of his tough opponents on his way to winning gold. I’ve known Martin for a while, and his ability to read a bout, adapt, and take control is second to none.

Dedication, consistency, and sublime skill ensured Martin claimed this award. Keep doing what you’re doing, Nipper, and keep listening to your coaches – your name will be up in lights soon 💯

This cup is in memory of Billy’s mum, Wendy Macey, who was a shining light to everyone who met her. Fittingly, Billy was the very first recipient of this award.

🥊 Barum Box Cup Best Youth Boxer 2025 🥊

The Best Youth Boxer Belt went to Finny Baker Chambers of Rainham Boxing Club!! 👑👏

We’ve had the privilege of watching Finny grow as both a person and a boxer over the years. He has now won gold at the Barum Box Cup 3 times 🥇🥇🥇 and has collected titles all the way up from schools, juniors, and youth. His talent is undeniable, and he’s always exciting to watch.

Boxing 3 times over the weekend, Finny shone in each bout – overcoming tough competition and sealing victory in a final against another exceptional talent from Finchley. That shows the true pedigree of this young man. 💥

Finny, we are so pleased you have won the belt – it’s fully deserved. We hope this spurs you on to even greater achievements this year. From all of us at the Barum Box Cup – very well done 👏💯 keep shining ✨
