THREE York Boxing Club fighters are through to the Yorkshire finals of the Amateur Boxing Association championships next month.

Thomas Mulvenna, Yorkshire cruiser-weight champion last year, was followed by club-mate Paul Gordon and Brady Coombs into the finals which will be held at Mexborough Ballroom on November 11.

Mulvenna was involved in the fight of the night, earning a unanimous points verdict over an opponent who had a winning run of five straight victories and who stood at 6ft 5ins tall.

Gordon won his middleweight clash comfortably, while 17-year-old Brady Coombs was given a bye.

Sonny Dalton lucked out when he was out-pointed in his welterweight clash, while Joe Hines was forced to withdraw due to illness.
