Billy Walsh flew to the US this morning and looks set to sign a contract with the country's boxing association after his resignation from the IABA earlier this week.
Walsh went through the departure gates at around 7am, with a U-turn on his decision to leave the coaching position in Ireland now unlikely.
Last night, Irish Sports Council head John Treacy called for a “cultural change” within the IABA.
“We haven’t heard anything from them since Billy Walsh resigned,” he admitted.
“It’s a matter of grave concern to ourselves that they hadn’t shown us the respect to tell us officially that Billy has resigned, even though we all know.”
