On Friday 24th September Liam Gibson of Aycliffe Boxing Club and Greenfield School travelled to Hartlepool, after reaching the final of the Tyne Tees & Wear Schools Championships.
Liam started very well but the long lay off, caused by the Coronavirus, showed with ring rust and although Liam was very competitive he was on the wrong end of the decision on points. After the contest Liam said he would put it down to experience and he will bounce back for his next contest.
Liam is coached by the team at Aycliffe Boxing Club, with the head coach having over 43 years experience any boxer could do well.
