A couple of years ago at the Four Nations juniors held in Aberdeen, one of the boxers who stood out for me was a young English kid by the name of Anthony Ogogo. How pleased am I then to see him make so much progress? Anthony is part of a four-man team from Great Britain who are participating in a trial tournament in preparation for the Olympics.
Paul Butler, Tommy Stalker and Danny Price are the other members of the team. Good luck to them in this prestigious tournament.
