The second round saw great jabs from both boys, but Doe demonstrated better movement and caught his opponent with great counter punching on the move and an aggressive third round clinched a fine debut win.

POLICE CLUB

Star Police boxer Hannah May Anderson was also in action at the Fenland Sparta ABC show in Wisbech.

One of the club’s National Champions took on home favourite Caitlin Parr at 54kg seeking to repeat a recent success over the same girl.

Anderson dominated the centre of the ring and delivered quality counter punches to the head and body to win the first round.

Parr tried to be more aggressive in the second round, but Anderson was too strong and often pinned her opponent on the ropes.

The third round saw the referee deliver a standing eight count for Parr after she was put under serious presssure.

That ensured Anderson (19) would receive a unanimous points verdict in her favour after a strong and highly skilled performance.

It was a close fight when the pair met at the recent Police show, but this was a much more dominant display by an ever-improving boxer against a dangerous opponent.
