Sorry was a bit slow on getting this post up!
So here goes….

Timaru Boxing Tournament 2026 🥊

First up:
Lewis Taylor, in a gritty match up as always, just losing by split decision.

Capri Coffey-Gibson, rematch from Canterbury Champs, showing much improvement getting a unanimous decision win.

Carter Wakelin, only his second fight after debut at novice champs this year. Good technique and improvement since earlier in the year, unfortunately going down on a unanimous decision loss.

Isaac Davis had his debut. Showed good heart stepping in to the ring for the first time and fighting through a bleeding nose to last all 3 rounds, unfortunately going down on a unanimous decision loss.

William Crooks, stepped up in weight, age and experience competing against a 68kg youth in the first ever matching for the Joel Hill Memorial Belt.
He started off strong and continued on that way throughout the entire fight. Both boxers fought with so much heart and honour in memory of Joel.
William coming away with the unanimous decision win and making history as the very first winner of the Joel Hill Memorial Belt.

Paiaka Taha worked hard to make weight and came up against a strong debutant. Another battle with a lot of blood and heart and unfortunately losing via unanimous decision.

Lastly but not least, our main event Toby Cuthbertson.
Toe to toe, Toby always puts on a good show. Coming away with a very lucky split decision win.

Thank you to all who came to our tournament, special mention to the Hill family.💚
