Another West Hill junior, Sahab Caglayan, triumphed on a unanimous points decision in his maiden bout last weekend.

The 13-year-old, 70 kilos boxer defeated Josh Williams, of the South Coast club in Newhaven, at an open show hosted by Bexhill Boxing Club.

Caglayan put the pressure on all the way through the bout. He gave his opponent a standing count in the last round and was close to stopping him.

West Hill coach Dave Bishop said: “Some of the other coaches said how well he boxed. He’s coming on a treat and showed his potential at the show. He looked very good. It was a powerful display.”
