It was a great weekend for Alloa Boxing Club with three of the club’s boxers putting in impressive performances across the UK.

First up, Casey Baird secured a well-deserved win on the Lochend show.

Facing a tall opponent, Casey showed great composure and skill to come out on top.

Meanwhile, Eva Hynd was in action down in Mansfield on the Rainworth & Blidworth show, taking on the same opponent that she defeated Alloa’s home show.

After a slow start, Eva came back strongly in the second round, and the third could have went either way.

In a thrilling contest, she narrowly lost out on a split decision but gained valuable experience from her absolute battle in the ring.

Eva has had an impressive 2025, representing Scotland in the GB Three Nations competition in May, winning the Eastern District title, and bagging a silver medal at this year's Golden Gloves Championships.

To round off the weekend, the club’s own Ricky McDonald headlined the Chirnside show, in what was another return bout from last month’s home show.

Both boxers gave everything over three gruelling rounds, with some heavy shots landed throughout the fight.

But, it was Ricky’s hand who was raised after a 3-2 split decision victory.

Next up for Alloa Boxing Club, is a trip to Swansea for a Box Cup, where Eva, Leon and William will compete.
