The bout was awarded to the local boy on what must have been a razor-thin split decision, much to the surprise of most people.

On Saturday evening the club travelled to Skegness.

Youngster Reece Morris was pitted against Alfie Stefanski, from Skegness, in a skills bout.

Reece took control of the ring from the first bell and began probing behind his jab with Stefanski circling around the outside boxing at range.

Reece’s hands were commendably watertight, the Skegness boy struggling to penetrate his guard.
