<p> </p><p class="rtecenter">'Repton BC Win 3 out of 3 Bouts'</p><p> </p><p>The National Ambition Boxing Championships (NABCs) hosted by Essex Boys and Girls Clubs reached the Regional Finals stage this weekend with boxers competing from Essex, Suffolk, Sussex, Surrey and Kent. There were also 6 London Finals to be contested at the Harlow Greyhound Stadium with everyone competing for a place in the National Quarter Finals on the 11<sup>th</sup> November.</p><p>The day began with Stephen Green (Centurions ABC) boxing Eli Saunders (Farnham Warriors). Both went all out and set the standard for the day as neither held back from trying to get their names into the Quarter Finals. Saunders just edged ahead to take the decision over Green.</p><p>Sam Malone (Rayleigh ABC) then went toe-to-toe with Hayden Bulloch (Crawley) in the Class B under 70Kg category. Malone, coming off a decent Anglian Final result, pushed on to take a majority decision which gave Essex their first winner of the day.</p><p>Aaron Spenner (Essex University) then made it two Essex winners through to the Quarters, as his work rate over Mitchell Ayling (Earlsfield) gave him the advantage. Spenner did not give his opponent any breathing space or time to think and that earned him a place in the next round.</p><p>Unfortunately Spenners stable mate Jason Veares (Essex University) could not make it two in quick succession for Gordon Charlesworth's gym as he narrowly lost to Tony Staniford (Turners Boxing Academy). Veares had damaged an ear drum at the end of the first round but battled on in another war which ended with both boxers taking heavy blows.</p><p>Billy Beer (Repton) then put on one of the performances of the day against Daniel Borode (Fisher ABC). Beer held nothing back in the first round but was closely matched by Borode, eventually the Repton boxer found his rhythm. Beers' timing and varying angles showed his class and definitely one to look out for in the Championships.</p><p>Jordan Blake (Repton) closed the show with a very impressive stoppage of Taofeek Maja (Lynn). After counter punching to a victory in his Semi-Final on the 13<sup>th</sup> October, Blake switched his tactics to an attacking barrage of jabs and crosses, giving the referee no option but to award 3 standing counts to Maja in the first round and end the bout.</p><p>Repton BC produced 8 London Champions at this stage to compete in the next round on Nov 11th.</p><p>Former WBO Super Featherweight World Champion Nicky Cook was in attendance to congratulate the boxers and present them with their medals, certificates and badges.</p><p>The Quarter Finals are being held on the 11<sup>th</sup> November at Harlow Greyhound Stadium with doors opening at 1pm and boxing starting at 2pm. This will see champions of Anglia, Sussex, Surrey and Kent face the Champions from London. 22 bouts are scheduled and guarantees some excellent boxing.</p><p>Full list of results: Winners in Bold</p><p> </p><table align="left" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 50px;

NABC Quarter Finals Preview The NABC’s reach the Quarter Final stage on Sunday 11th November at Harlow Greyhound Stadium, The Pinnacles, Roydon Road, Harlow, Essex, CM19 5DY. Repton Boxing Club have 8 London Champions through to this stage of the National Championship ! There are 22 bouts scheduled in what guarantees to be an action packed-afternoon with champions from Essex, Suffolk, Sussex, Surrey and Kent battling against London’s finest. The day will start with back-to-back bouts featuring Brentwood Youth stars going up against Repton and West Ham. Jake Harrison (Brentwood Youth) with a great performance in the Anglian round, looks to keep his momentum going against West Hams Thomas Gailbraith, in the Class A under 50Kg Quarter Final. Billy Polkinghorn (Southend ABC) comes off the back of a first round stoppage win in the Anglian Finals to take on Junior ABAE Finalist Jack Brooker (Northolt ABC), which we can expect to be a great showdown. Sam Malone (Rayleigh ABC) has racked up two good wins in the Championships so far and now faces Yahia Chelli (Dale Youth). With both boxers not afraid to stand and trade punches this will be a tough bout to call, with the winner standing a good chance of going all the way to becoming National Champion. At Under 85Kg, the heaviest weight category of the day, current Junior ABAE Champion and reigning NABC Champion James Branch (Repton) will face Alfie Little (Strood ABC). The last time Branch boxed at the Harlow Stadium he was victorious in the 2011 Class A Finals, beating his opponent 26-1 to become NABC Champion. It may be that Little plans to stop the bout early with his aggressive style and Branch’s untested chin. David Moore (Billericay ABC) will kick off the first of seven Class C Championship bouts as he faces ABA Champion Gerry McDonagh (Lynn ABC). Aaron Spenner (Essex University) also hopes to be the first Essex University ABC semi-finalist as he takes on Kwaku Sarpong (Repton). Boxers will be weighing in between 11am and 1pm, with the doors opening to the public at 1pm. Boxing is scheduled to start at 2pm and is expected to finish around 7pm.

It was announced at 8:29pm this evening that Boxing Legend Emanuel Steward, who trained legendary fighters Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko among many others, died at the age of 68. As an amateur boxer, Steward won 94 of his 97 fights and a National Golden Gloves bantamweight title in 1963. He made his name as a trainer at the Kronk gym in Detroit and Hilmer Kenty became his first world champion in 1980, followed by Hearns the same year. Steward handled more world champions than any other trainer, 43 in all. Steward, who had been suffering from colon cancer, was perhaps most closely associated with Hearns, whom he first trained as an amateur at the fabled Kronk. Having built the Kronk into an amateur boxing super-power, Hearns and Kenty came close to making the 1976 Olympic team. And in March 1980, Kenty became Steward's first pro world champion when he won the WBA lightweight crown, also becoming the first world champion from Detroit since heavyweight great Joe Louis decades earlier. Under Steward, Hearns became the first boxer to win world titles in five weight divisions and engaged in classic fights with Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran and Marvin Hagler. Steward linked up with Lennox Lewis following the British heavyweight's defeat by Oliver McCall in 1994 and the partnership endured until Lewis's retirement in 2004. Steward was immediately enlisted by Wladimir Klitschko and, having lost his WBO belt to Corrie Sanders in 2003, the Ukrainian became world champion again in 2006. Steward's roster of fighters reads like a who's who of boxing greats, with Wilfred Benitez, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar de la Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Mike McCallum and James Toney also trained by him. Other British greats trained by Steward, who was inducted into the International Hall of Fame in 1996, are former light-heavyweight world champion Dennis Andries and former featherweight world champion Naseem Hamed.
