Boxers from Leigh ABC have been working hard over the Christmas holiday period in preparation for the upcoming National Schoolboy Championships and the NACYP National Championships which begin in early January. The young boxers have been missing out on the Christmas pudding, and taking part in top class sparring sessions with boxers from Wigan ABC, both in Wigan and at Leigh Boxing & Fitness Centre.

The eighth Leigh Amateur Boxing Show proved another great success on Friday evening at Lowton Civic Hall.
With eight Leigh boxers in the 12 bout bill, the sell-out crowd was again treated to an entertaining night of top class amateur boxing. Wins for Adam Ridge, Michael Connor, Ed Kirkham, Jonny Brown and Tom Jones an indication of the continued stream of talented boxers coming from the Leigh club.

Fifteen year old Leigh ABC boxer Tom Jones made a winning start to his boxing career with a dominant points win over Matthew Kerr of Ashton Albion ABC at Camelot. The heavy handed Leigh boxer was always in control, giving Kerr a third round standing count, who did well to survive to the final bell.

Fifteen year old Jonny Brown last night clinched the North West Region Junior Novice Class A 54kg ABA Championship at Greenlands, Preston. Facing a very strong opponent in Mottram & Hattersley's unbeaten Ben Latham, Jonny set a blistering pace from the first bell using great footwork and head movement to blast in powerfull hooks and body shots. To his credit though, Latham responded with sharp jabs and backhands, though the Leigh boxer avoided most with a solid defence. In a cracking contest Jonny's workrate and cleaner shots caught the judges eyes to give him a deserved first ABA title.
