WALTHAM FOREST AMATEUR BOXING CLUB secured its latest national champion following an excellent display from rookie Oliver Tanner [below, centre].
The 15-year-old, who recently saw off Malmesbury’s Sam Stringer in the semi-finals, faced Marston’s Brian Fletcher at the Hayes Working Men’s Club on Sunday November 3.
Boxing in the Junior Novice Class A U-57kgs contest, Tanner started brightly in what proved to be a close opening session, where he worked well off a tight jab.
