Carman fought with great composure as he weathered Taylor’s laboured attacks, zipping in and out of range to register the eyecatching scoring shots.

It was the tactical difference in a hard-fought fight as both boys gave their all, Carman carving out a unanimous points decision and the prestigious title.

Oscar Watson took a bout at short notice on Saturday, narrowly beaten by Callum Northedge of the TG ABC on his home show in Doncaster.

The club had mixed fortunes in Hinckley on Friday night, Kai Merrin stopping Billy Burbage of the Earl Shilton ABC but Reece Morris defeated by Harley Magney, also representing the Earl Shilton gym.
