Following an overnight stay in London, the travelling Team Scotland contingent are now well settled in the city of Tampere, Finland, ready to participate in the high calibre Tammer tournament, scheduled to take place between 16th – 19th October 2014.
The legacy of the Tammer Tournament started in 1977, with the tournament being held every year since then except in 1981, 1993 and 2000, when Tampere hosted both the European and World Championships.
Over the last 30 years the Tammer tournament has built a reputation as being one of the most respected Olympic style boxing tournaments in the world. Ever since the very first year the event has hosted some of the greatest champions of all time, such as Mike Tyson and Oscar De La Hoya.
With no fewer than 16 countries participating in this the 35th International Tammer tournament, including Brazil, Russia and the USA, there are sure to be some mouthwatering encounters ahead.
With all boxers now weighed in and resting, the draw is scheduled to take place today at 1100hrs local time (GMT + 2hrs), with the preliminary rounds starting at 6pm this evening local time.
Boxing Scotland looks forward to communicating further details once the official draw has taken place.
