KING OF THE NORTH:
A BATTLE UNTIL THE FINAL BELL 🔔
Today, our big man Angus Alexander went straight into a FINAL at King of the North Box Cup 2026 against his opponent Izzy from GBA. We knew today would be a good challenge and a significant step up in level. To say we’re disappointed with the result would be an understatement, with Angus taking silver and narrowly missing out on a 3–2 split decision.
It was a hard-fought contest from start to finish. Angus listened to every instruction from the corner and gave absolutely everything. He used his jab brilliantly, picked his shots intelligently, showed a strong guard and controlled much of the bout while boxing effectively off the back foot.
From a Coach’s perspective, I felt he had done enough to get the win, but that’s boxing. Sometimes what we see from the corner isn’t what the judges see. It’s a tough lesson, but one that will only make him better.
As a Club, we’ll stay humble in defeat, learn from the experience and get straight back to work in the gym tomorrow.
Credit to IZZY, who was a good sportsman after the bout and spoke highly of Angus. We wish him all the best moving forward.
Keep your head up Big Yin, there’s plenty to be proud of!
A lesson today, a champ tomorrow 👊🥊
