Sefin Ismail (12) also took part in his first competitive fight at the Fenland show. He was involved in a tough toe-to-toe battle and just came up short despite an encouraging performance.

An even younger boxer made his debut in a skills bout, a contest which doesn’t get judged, and 11 year-old Martin Owen impressed his coaches with brilliant work on the inside against a taller opponent.

Owen was in action again at the Billericay and Wickford show the following day and the little powerhouse was even more impressive against an even taller opponent!

Also in action here was 16 year-old Tom Embleton who won his first competitive fight on points in style. Embleton dominated the 65kg bout with brilliant boxing and class long shots that forced a standing eight count in the second round.

Kian Aragosa (14), a more experienced fighter, was in action at the Islington Show and lost on points to a strong home boxer at 47kg.

Drew Robertson will take on Police clubmate Alfie Baker for an Eastern Counties youth title belt later this month. Robertson earned his shot with a points win over a Thetford fighter.
