‘BABY CANELO’: Hargreaves [left] wins back-to-back Development titles
THE Development Championships reached its conclusion at the Spiceball Centre with 76 bouts spread over two days. The best story to come from the championship was that of Rosanna Brunwin, a 28 year old from Total Boxer in North London. Boxing saved Brunwin from drug abuse and homelessness and in her sixth bout, she was crowned a champion after unanimously outpointing Charley Carters (Hook and Jab) in the Class A final at 64kgs. Brunwin won the opening round with her jab and when Carters took the fight to her at the start of the second, Brunwin stood her ground and got the better of the exchanges. Both let their hands go in the last and though Carters had her successes, Brunwin usually had the final word.
