Spencer Hughes is one of our junior boxers who has come through Queensland Academy of Sport and Boxing Queensland Inc. talent identification YouFor32 program.
Most recently Spencer’s hard work has paid off with an incredible opportunity being selected Spencer to attend the Australian Institute of Sport and the Boxing Australia National Development Camp for junior athletes. Spending four days at the AIS giving him a taste at what his future may hold and preparing him heading into these competitions.
From the first day he stepped into the gym I could see why he was selected through this 2032 Olympic pathway, it was easy to see why he had been identified as an athlete with real potential. 16months in boxing, Spencer has a few fights under his belt and is now preparing to compete at the Fight Klub Tournament next week before turning his focus to the International Golden Gloves in August.
What stands out most about Spencer isn’t just his talent—it’s his attitude. When I raise the bar and say this is where you should be he steps up to the challenge. He works hard, sets high standards for himself, and whether he wins or loses, his focus doesn’t waiver. He listens, learns, and is constantly looking for ways to become better.
Those are the qualities that build champions.
We’re incredibly proud to have Spencer as part of our stable and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.
Well done, Spencer. This is only the beginning. 🥊
