Elgin Amateur Boxing Club youngster Tyler Sked beats Scottish and British champion while Kurt Shaughnessy makes impressive debut
Elgin Amateur Boxing Club scored a notable victory in their latest competitive bouts.
Kurt Shaughnessy was unlucky not to pick up a win in his very first competitive outing, losing on a split decision.
But club-mate Tyler Sked enhanced his growing reputation with a victory over the current Scottish and British champion Zain Iqbal from Southside Boxing Academy.
Club head coach Paul Gordon said: "His original opponent had been double booked and it looked like he wasn’t going to get to box.
"But then last minute he was offered a fight against the Scottish and British champion who had only lost one bout out of 14.
"Even though Tyler was slightly heavier and has only had seven fights = losing two - they took the bout.
"After a bit of a scrappy start, Tyler got into his swing and started to dominate the fight.
"Even after getting a point deduction for a foul, Tyler still got it on all the judges score cards winning on a unanimous decision."
