On Thursday daytime, London Boxing competed against 1860 Munich BC in the now annual team match between the regional association and the Bavarian club.

The annual Vatertagsboxen (Father’s Day Boxing) is a huge traditional Frühschoppen (morning pint) event hosted by the TSV 1860 Munich boxing team during the annual Truderinger Festwoche. There were approximately 1,700 spectators in attendance, all of whom were extremely respectful and friendly throughout the event.

Three boxers from Islington Boxing Club were selected to represent a strong London team.

Aleigha Reeves received a late call-up and competed in her first 3x3 contest, coming away with a points victory.

Dylan Gibson returned to winning ways jabbing his way to a points victory against an older opponent.

Nicholas Dorsett competed in the final bout of the day, narrowly losing to a more experienced opponent in a contest that was later awarded Bout of the Day.

Overall, London came away with a 6-5 victory. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🥊

Nawir Ahmed lost via a 3-2 split decision in a rematch from the recent Uxbridge ABC show, where Ahmed had previously won via a 3-2 split. We felt Nawir was unfortunate not to get the decision on this occasion after another close contest.
