Five Junior and five Senior female boxers will represent England at the Nations Cup in Sombor, Serbia between 12th and 19th January.
The team will arrive in the Balkans on Sunday 12th January, with the competition set to take place between the 14th and 19th of January.
England’s participation in the all-female competition will be their first since 2023 when they recorded a perfect record of four golds from four entrants.
Similarly to that edition, England Performance has entered both Junior and Senior boxers into the hotly contested competition.
A strong squad consisting of former and current European Champions, mixed with NACs Champions and finalists has been selected, as England looks to leave a lasting mark on the competition.
