Jerry-Mike Connors (14) booked his place at the event by winning a Junior Eastern Counties title in Billericay last weekend at 46kg.

He took on Freddy Yarnold from the well-regarded New Saints Amateur Boxing Club in St Neots.

Connors’ performance was strong from the start and he was the more aggressive boxer dominating all three rounds.

The Top Yard boxer showed good skill and fitness to take a comfortable 5-0 unanimous points victory.
