This Sunday the Mayfair JD Sports Domes is to host the England Boxing Junior ABA Championships as regional boxers partake in the finals of the national competition.

Some sixteen bouts are scheduled to take place with boxers from amateur clubs across the region participating.
“These are or future champions, where it all begins for lads, and lasses, who aim to make something of themselves in boxing,” a said Tracey Saunders.
“This is a big deal as it’s not a normal club show and there’s thirty clubs or more involved in it.”
