More than 600 boxers have been entered for the Bangkok tournament so, as with the first Olympic World Qualifier in March, boxers will contest to quota; meaning, they will cease to box at a qualification bout.

In five of the weights Ireland are contesting, four Paris places are available.

In Walsh’s light-middleweight (71kg) class, there will be five spots on the line for the Games in the French capital, while there are three places at 80kg.

The Ireland team will finalise their preparations at a multi-nations camp in Hua Hin, Thailand.
