Muhammad Khan (15) and Kieran Cocker (21) acquitted themselves well and deserevd to win their bouts.

“At least one judge scored the contest the right way,” he said. “I honestly felt Kieran won the contest as the other boxer was a spoiler and did a lot of holding and leaning. Those sort of boxers should have points deducted, rather than win close bouts.”

All the Peterborough Police boxers should be in action at the club’s home dinner show on May 5 at Peterborough Regional College. Tickets are available now from Chris Baker on 07921095122.
