In the statement Dunne says that he left Indian boxing because terms of his contract were not met by his employers. “My decision to resign is due entirely to the inability of the Federation to pay my salary for the services provided, under the terms of the contract signed when I joined the Federation.“I wish to make it clear that I have nothing but respect for the Federation, its management team and the many athletes I have had the privilege of working with along with my colleagues on the high-performance support staff.
“During my two years as High Performance Director, I have had the privilege to contribute and assist in helping the high-performance team win seven World medals in 2023, five Asian Games medals in 2023 and twelve Asian championship medals in 2022. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with the athletes in India and I wish the team well in the future as they continue their Olympic journey.”
