\n \u201cBut it\u2019s all about what happens in the future.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cAll I\u2019m really looking for, for now, is to go to the Olympics and see how it goes from there.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n National coaches Mick Maguire and Louise Vidor will lead the squad in Bangkok, having worked closely with the group since the European Championships in Slovenia in 2023.\n<\/p>\n
\n Together, the coaching team and selected boxers have achieved eight medals across three European Championships, very much demonstrating the strength and consistency of the England Performance pathway.\n<\/p>\n
\n Maguire said: \u201cThe Futures Cup is a wonderful opportunity for the boxers taking part.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWith attendance at the tournament being a requisite towards eligibility at the 2026 Youth Olympics, it is attracting teams from all over the world and promises to present lots of new challenges for our team.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe look forward to the competition and to the experiences and tests that it will certainly provide.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Haley will be joined out in Bangkok by five England team-mates, one of those being Sonny Hollingsworth of Billingham Boxing Academy in County Durham.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: \u201cIt is a true honour to be selected for a tournament of this size.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt\u2019s always an immensely proud moment to be given the opportunity to represent my country and wear the England vest with pride.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Joining Haley and Hollingsworth will be Jaya Kalsi of Cleary’s Boxing in Leamington Spa.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: \u201cCompeting at the World Futures Cup in Thailand is another step in my journey.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019m grateful for the opportunity and proud to represent England.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019m fully focused on performing to my best capabilities on the international stage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And one of those competing out in Thailand on the world stage will be Bradford\u2019s own Siobhan Haley.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-465924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
