Seven boxers from Sharpstyle club in Blackpool crowned regional champions
Seven boxers from Blackpool’s highly successful Sharpstyle Club have claimed North-West titles to win through the regional stage of the national junior championships.
John Boulton was Sharpstyle’s first winner. In only his fourth fight, John’s strong performance earned a unanimous decision against Declan Morton of Border City ABC in Carlisle in the 52kg cadet category.
In the 54kg cadet division, Dan Kerrigan was also a unanimous winner over John Mcdonagh of Manchester’s Ardwick Lads’ Club.
Frank Varey was up against Conner Moran, also of Border City, in the 52kg open class , using his experience to control the bout throughout for another unanimous verdict.
And a second win for Sharpstyle’s Jack Dadak over Jay Warden from the Jimmy Egan club in Wythenshawe completed a clean sweep for the club on Blackpool’s Bagot Street.
Sharpstyle’s Levi Barnes, Thomas Varey, and Nelson Birchall had already been crowned champions because their opponents withdrew.
The day was topped off for some of the Sharpstyle team by a meeting with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
