First Away Shows of the Season

Mickey's Boxing Academy has got the season off to a flying start this year having boxers compete in four of the Districts Shows and even holding the first Boxing show in Selby ever over the Half term Holiday's.This week saw Aaron (17) & Ryan Leaper(14) compete at Highfields Show (Doncaster) with both taking home winners medals after two hard fought battles. Ryan's first bout for the club, proved himself by demonstrating good skills in all three rounds and deserved his medal as this was his birthday and he had still chosen to compete. Jamie Tomlinson (12)and Gareth Hilton (15)were next competing in a show at Cedar Court Hotel in Wakefield (Airdales Show). Jamie was first to enter the ring and after a hard three rounds which saw him knock his opponent to the canvas and then give him a bloody nose, Jamie's hand was held high as the winner, taking another trophy back for the club. Gareth was up just before the interval, matched with a young man from Bridlington. A heavy three rounds ensued where both boxers matched each others blows but at the end of the three rounds Gareth was piped by points and had to be satisfied this time with a runners up trophy.
