Boxing: Joe Crawford presented with England commemorative vest

Date published: 24 February 2017


Queensway ABC boxer Joe Crawford has been presented with an England commemorative vest for winning a silver medal in the Tri- Nations final.

This is a massive achievement for the 14-year-old and proves he is right up there with the best in the county.

It was a hard final where he narrowly lost out to the England number one Adam Azim from Pinewood Star.

Next up for Joe is the Junior ABA championships - the draw takes place this weekend.

Queensway ABC coach David Hodkinson said: “This is a very busy time for us as we have four top youngsters entered and the preparation needed for this is massive.

“We are currently working with these children six days a week and that doesn't include travel time to various gyms for sparring so I am lucky to have some top coaches on board."
