York ABC youngster Tommy Naismith, who won gold at the MTK Lonsdale Box Cup
YORK Boxing Club enjoyed a double success at the MTK Lonsdale Box Cup in Penrith.
Tommy Naismith took gold at the three-day tournament - which welcomed than 400 boxers from across Europe - while super-heavyweight Arlo Stephens took silver.
The 14-year-old Naismith clinched the top prize against Nathan May of Manchester's Love ABC. He boxed well off the back foot, out-working his opponent with stylish head movements and hard counter punches.
Stephens was boxing Ike Ogbo from Carlisle's Border City.
Naismith - an All Saints School pupil - will be in action at the end of May with the rest of his team at the East Midlands Box Cup.
