Dubliner submitted resignation after all nine Indian boxers failed to secure Paris 2024 quotas from the first Olympic boxing qualifier

Bernard Dunne has resigned as high-performance director with the Boxing Federation of India , just under 17 months after being hired to improve their fortunes ahead of this summer’s Paris Olympics.

“Bernard Dunne was an integral part of BFI’s set-up but unfortunately, we have to mutually part ways. His resignation was accepted by the committee,” BFI president Ajay Singh said on Monday. For India, with a population of 1.44 billion, boxing is one of their chief Olympic sports: so far only four women have obtained the Olympic quotas for India, all coming at the Asian Games last year, and not a single man.

In late 2021, Dunne filed a complaint with the IABA in which he alleged his position had been undermined in an anonymous letter, discrediting him both personally and professionally.
