This weekend, Maddy A in Year 11, boxed for the English National 70kg Youth title.
This was her first year fighting in the 16 – 18 year old bracket, meaning that boxers must fight for 3 minute rounds rather than 2 minutes previously.
Maddy had to box against her opponent who had the same record but was 19 months older than her. In the first round Maddy gave her opponent a standing count, in the second round the referee stopped the bout with just over a minute remaining of the round.
Maddy won the National 70kg Youth champion title (and is proudly holding the belt below!)
Maddy and her coach will travel to Tamworth this Sunday for a selection camp for the forthcoming Europeans being held in Bulgaria in April 2022.
Well done Maddy!
