Three boxers from Gator ABC in Ilford travelled to Balham for the annual Balham Boxing Show over the weekend.

Jay Hellis, Humza Qazi and George Francis all took part, with Hellis coming out victorious while Qazi lost a tight decision. Francis’ contest was non-scoring.

Hellis continued his fine form against A. Thompson of McKenzie’s Boxing Club in an all-action contest from the first bell, winning the tight decision after landing the best shots in the bout.

Qazi, meanwhile, was unlucky against Marcus Nippers of Epsom and Ewell, losing out via a close decision.

Finally, Francis took on S. Draper of Two Kings and, after a slow first round, he stepped into a higher gear and displayed some outstanding skills.

It was certainly a successful weekend for the club where all three participants boxed excellently.
