AFTER a successful final last year at England Boxing National Championships, Regan Whay (13) of SFG College and boxing out of Rayne Boxing Club near Braintree again reached this year’s finals held in Newcastle on Saturday 11th May and Sunday May 12th.

He boxed his way to the final, claiming the crown of being Eastern Counties champion along the way for the second year running.

He boxed the quarter final in Ipswich last week against an opponent from Epsom; the semi final on Saturday against a boxer from Little Borough boxing club and the final against a boxer from the Midlands-based Pound4pound Boxing Academy.

The fight was a tough bout with both boys giving what they could and the decision going the other way.

Two finals in two years, one gold and one silver and an approach to trial for the England Schoolboys squad.

Regan has a fantastically bright future in the sport.
