Leigh ABC's Marcus Morrison has been crowned the NACYP National Welterweight Champion for 2010. In a devastating display of speed and power, Marcus beat Repton ABC star boxer Ben Hall 16-9 in Portsmouth on saturday afternoon. The bout could have been over in the first minute as Marcus crashed a massive right, forcing Hall to take a standing eight count, and then continually bombarded the London based boxer who was fortunate to see out the round. To Hall's credit though, he dug deep but was continually struggling to cope with the Leigh boxer's hand spped and accuracy. Heavy right hands in both the second and third round again confirmed Marcus' dominance, leaving the result beyond doubt. A fantastic win for Marcus, Leigh ABC and the town !

Those that run the boxing club are committed to working with them and offer a fantastic service to the community. I would encourage people to come down and get involved.”
Adrian Fleming, head coach at Leigh Amateur Boxing Club, added: “We are only too happy to help get young people into sport to keep them on the right track in life, and I would encourage anyone interested to come along to one of our sessions.”
