Three Royal Leamington Spa ABC boxers have recently gained their maiden wins.

Terri Moore came out on top after a toe-to-toe brawl in Willenhall, with coach Ollie O’Neill lauding the 27-year-old’s potential.

“Out of the the three female boxers I’ve had at Leamington she is by far the hardest puncher,” said O’Neill. “She’s got power.”

Richard Donnelly also racked up his first success in Willenhall, with his superior workrate earning him the decision from the judges, while 16-year-old Tom Kelly beat a Triumph ABC boxer on his home show.

“He’s got great potential,” added O’Neill. “He doesn’t know how good he could be.”

Hours after completing an exam, Cleary’s ABC’s Danny Quartermaine travelled down to London to claim an easy points victory over Yousef Khaumart from All Stars ABC.

The victory earned Quartremaine the trophy for the best boxer of the night.
