Congratulations to William Crooks who was awarded the trophy for Most Scientific Junior/Cadet of the tournament. 🏆

We would like to acknowledge his hard work in and out of the boxing gym which has helped him achieve this South Island Golden Gloves open title.

This year William entered the workforce and started a full time building apprenticeship, which is a massive life change at only 15 years old.
The fact that he managed to do this while still being committed to his training is not an easy feat.

Congratulations on your title again William, huge respect to you, you deserve this! 🔥
