Schoolboy boxer Mitch Lawson had his debut skills bout for the Halstead Boxing Club on the Ernie’s ABC Show in Chatteris.
The 12-year-old Halstead boxer (pictured below) was facing Alfie Smith of the Allcomers ABC and it proved to be an evenly-matched bout with both boxers having to work hard in the three one-minute rounds.
Lawson demonstrated good skills and techniques and threw some quality shots to the head and body.
Using his footwork to move confidently around the ring, the Halstead fighter kept out of trouble by landing some impressive jabs and hooks throughout the bout.
Both young boxers showed good all round ability for the future.
Coaches Caroline Searles and Charlie Lawson were in the corner for Lawson.
