An Alloa Boxing Club middleweight finished the first half of the season on a high.
Richard 'Ricky' McDonald took on Eastern District champion Jordan Hunter from Craigmillar Boxing Club at the Clovenstone show, held in the Dalkeith Miners Club.
Fresh from a previous win, Richard 'found his rhythm early', controlling the opening round with a sharp jab.
In round two, he ramped up his efforts, delivering effective two- and three-phase attacks.
The third round was hotly contested, but Richard's strong performance earned him a victory by a 4–1 split decision.
To end off the day, Richard was also named Best Away Boxer of the show.
It has been an 'outstanding' first half of the season according to the club, which has won 20 bouts while losing only four across Britain.
With a packed schedule ahead, the club anticipates a big 2026.
Their plans start with a trip to Sweden in January, and the championship season in February and March.
