Walsh – who led Ireland to Olympic, World and European gold medals – yesterday stepped down from his role as Head Coach of the IABA's Irish High Performance Unit and senior team.
Walsh will now join USA Boxing, and help prepare its boxers for next year’s Olympics, but made it clear that his first choice all along was to continue working with the IABA.
