Boxers from Alloa Boxing Club won titles at a new boxing event, with promising signs from their debut competitor.
The club had three athletes fighting at the first ever Beath Box Cup, held at Beath High School in Fife.
Sixteen-year-old William Boyle was first up, facing off against the current Western District champion from Boxers Booth Gym, Glasgow.
Boyle, already a twice-crowned Scottish champion, clinched victory at 66kg by dominating all three rounds.
Next in the ring was 17-year-old Leon Hutchison, fresh off his Eastern District title win the previous weekend at Easter Road.
Hutchison, who moved up a weight division for this match, fought an opponent from Byron Boxing Club, Aberdeen.
With both boxers having won a round apiece going into the final, Hutchison dialled up his game to win the Beath Box Cup on a 4-1 split decision.
Sixteen-year-old Jayden Shaw rounded up the club’s entries with his first ever bout.
Although Shaw returned home with a silver medal, he showed promise and is already looking forward to his next competition.
The club has announced that it is seeking sponsorships for its next show.
