AT 37 years old Nina Hughes is still winning. She was victorious at the England Boxing Women’s Winter Box Cup at the Guildford Spectrum on December 8. She unanimously outpointed Repton’s Zeina Nassar at 57kgs.
“I really enjoyed being out there,” said Hughes, from the Chadwell St Mary club. “I watched her box in her semi-final, but it often turns out differently to what you plan when you get in the ring… Zeina pushed me hard and I was pleased to win in the end and be a champion here.
