Tyne, Tees and Wear also had a tournament to remember as they notched 10 titles, three of which went to their most successful club, District Youth.

Other clubs to post three wins were Home Counties’ Pinewood and Southern Counties’ Camberley, with Wimborne, Heart of Portsmouth, North Star, Priory Park, Legions and Mikey’s taking home two titles each.

England Boxing’s Head of Community Development, Charlie Ford, said: “It was great to see huge crowds in attendance, which provided a fantastic atmosphere and backdrop for the young boxers and their coaches in their quest to claim a national title.

“A big thank you to the referees, judges and the young volunteers from Pat Bensons Boxing Academy and Banbury Boxing Club who gave up their spare time to support the event.”
