The Olympic Council of eire (OCI) confirmed the inside track in a statement, saying that the pair were being spoken to about “inappropriate betting activity”, but didn't disclose the identity of the boxers in question.

The OCI added in its statement: “The matter remains to be under review so there'll be no further comment at this stage.”
