SHADEM FROM ISRAEL, HE WAS A TRICKY OPPONENT BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS GOING AWAY FROM JIMMY AND WAS HARD TO PIN DOWN, BUT JIMMY MADE LIGHT WORK OF HIM AND WON THE BOUT EASILY. HIS SECOND BOUT WAS AGAINST AN IRISH LAD R.GINLEY, THIS LAD WAS MADE FOR JIM HE CAME STRAIGHT AT JIMMY WHICH MADE HIM EASY TO HIT, JIMMY PICKED HIM OFF AT WILL AND MADE HIM LOOK SILLY AT TIMES WITH A GREAT PERFORMANCE BEATING HIM 19 POINTS TO 4.

THEN IT WAS THE FINAL WITH A GOLD MEDAL TO THE WINNER, JIMMY WAS UP AGAINST A STRONG AND VERY TRICKY RUSSIAN I.BERKO. AND HAVING WATCHED THE RUSSIAN WIN HIS SEMI FINAL I KNEW THIS BOUT WASNT GOING TO BE EASY. ROUND 1, BERKO WAS AIWAYS ON THE BACK FOOT LOOKING TO LAND THE LEFT HOOK OR LEFT HOOK COUNTERING JIMMYS RIGHT HAND WITH JIM DOING ALL THE CHASEING, ROUND 2 , JIM UPPED THE WORK RATE AND TRYED TO GET INSIDE BERKO, ROUND 3, JIMMY REALLY WENT FOR HIM WITH BOTH HANDS APPLYING THE PRESSURE , BUT EVERY TIME JIM GOT CLOSE BERKO WOULD GRAB AND HOLD , IN THE END JIMMY LOST THE FINAL 7 POINTS TO 5, ON ANOTHER DAY JIMMY WOULD HAVE HAD GOLD AND HE GAVE EVERYTHING AND WE ARE VERY PROUD OF WHAT HE HAS DONE,

TYSON FURY WAS VERY UNLUCK TO COME AWAY FROM MORROCO, THE WORLD Under 19s CHAMPIONSHIPS WITH A BRONZE MEDAL.

His first bout was against a boxer from azerbaijan, boxing in his first world event in a 100 degrees, tyson beat him with ease with a 10 points lead,

Tyson next opponent was from Hungary, Tyson destroyed him giving him 2 counts in round 1, he was hanging on for his life before the hungary corner through the towel in after about 1min of the round gone,

His next opponent was the best in the tournament form Uzbekistan, the worlds press and TV were there, it was a massive event for Tyson and for our gym, we have never had a boxer in a world championships, but he was in the semis, his opponent was about 6 foot 5 inches weighing about the same 110kg as Tyson,

The 1st round started, in no time at all the uzbeki had a 10 point lead but from where i dont know, the second round was the same ,Tyson landing punches but not getting the points, he landed a big right hand but the uzbeki got the point, i was screaming to Tyson to push it all the way, by the end of the 2nd round the uzbeki had a good lead, the 3rd round Tyson just went forward and pilled on the pressure ,Tyson gave him a standing count and cut the lead to 3 points in round 3, the 4th round was who wanted it the most, the Moroccon crowd were shouting TYSON !!TYSON!! every time Tyson got to within 2 points the uzbeki would get 5 or 6 points from a 2 or 3 punch combo, the points was a joke, at the end of the bout Tyson had 32 points the Uzbeki had 35 points. Tyson gave everything he had in the bout this should have been the world final

Tyson had to settle for a bronze medal a fantastic acheavement after just 14 bouts.

CHASIAH BURTON lost to RONNY HEFFRON in a very tough contest last night, in the boys clubs championships at the New Century Hall in manchester, Chasiah gave a great display but just didnt have enough on the night to beat Heffron, but he is a class act and will only get better.

TYSON FURY gave a great display of his skills in the National Novices in Knottingley, Yorkshire on saturday, he boxed Anthony Simpson in the super heavyweight final, Simpson came to have a real go at Tyson , but even though he didnt feel 100% Tyson led 2 -0 after round 1, 6-0 after round 2, and finished the bout with a 12 - 0 points win.

I was very pleased with his display, he shown a bit of everything he can do and has been rewarded with an England squad training weekend, he really deserves it, not only is he a great boxer, he is a great lad too.

Its been a great season so far for us,for the first time we have 2 national champions.

Jimmy Kelly Jnr won the Golden Gloves.

Tyson Fury has won the Novices.

Luke Holland reached the final of the N.A.C.Y.P.

Thanks for viewing our gym web site.

Alan Smith lost a close contest in the north west counties final at Everton Park liverpool.

Tyson is north west counties super heavyweight champion.

On Sunday 26th April Jimmy Kelly Jnr became the first boxer to become a national champion for the gym, under its new name Jimmy Egans.
It is a great achievement to win a title as 95% of boxers never win one and to do it in only his eighth fight is a sign that Jimmy is going to do great things in the future.

It was a special day for myself (Steve) and my brother Shaun, because its the first title won without our father JIMMY EGAN. I know he is still with us in spirit, thats what drives us on.

Jimmy Kelly boxed in the four nations in cardiff on friday, he injured his right hand in the opening seconds of the first round but battled on bravely against last years 4 nations champion but lost on points, Jim has had 9 bouts his opponent had 23 all wins.

Peter Egan has won his come back fight, he gave his opponent a standing count in the third round, then put him down with a good combination of punches. Andy Sumner did not box his opponent.

The April show at the Forum was another great show, there were ten bouts on the night and 8 of the bouts featured our boxers,
The Show Opener was Callum Holland what a display for his first bout, Callum shown us all that he is going to be a brilliant boxer, not only did he win, he was a real cool customer dealing with the nerves being on first on a home show.

Andre Anders boxed second, it was also Andres first bout, Andre is quite new to the boxing team, he had a very difficult southpaw to box, if you have boxed you'll know that is a hard opponent, but he listened well and came through to win, all the coaches are very happy for him.

Louis Strang had his first bout on the show, he came up against a tall opponent and Louis is stocky, he did really well, but found the reach advantage a bit to much to deal with in his first bout, Louis was also on next to last , I would have liked him on early, the bout was close, but Louis just lost it.

Saul France won his rematch with j.owen [dynamics] this was a close bout, saul had been ill in the week so to perform like he did made all us coaches proud, well done saul.

Dylan Hadfield got back to winning ways,with a good performance, on his day Dylan can be a right handfull and he is getting better all the time.

Adam Annand boxed quinn (bredbury) adam started slow, losing the first round, but picked up the pace in round 2 and 3 to win with ease.

Liam Cullen took his record to four straight wins with a great display, he had too much for his opponent, when liam jabbed and moved he looked great, the third round was a bit of a toe to toe, liam won well.

Peter Egan was on last, this was pete's first home show, and being on last adds pressure, pete boxed dixon who he will meet again in the novice championships, dixon is a good boxer but pete out worked him to win well, pete is doing very well, its hard boxing when you have been out for 3 years, but he still has 5 wins out of 5.

I would like to thank all my coaches for making the show run so smoothly, and a big thank you to all the boxers on the night,
Jimmy Egan,s had 8 boxers on the show and 7 winners, the January show we won 7 out of 9 bouts, thats 2 shows , 17 bouts with Jimmy Egan boxers with just 3 losses.

Luke Holland boxed in the junior A.B.A.s on saturday in liverpool, it was a close contest , but luke just lost out ,
luke will be better next season.

Future super heavyweight star Tyson Fury (pictured left of Sugar Ray Leonard) last friday we went up to Newcastle for the clash between North West Counties and North East Counties, We were told that his opponent has had the same amount of bouts 5 won 5. A day or two before we went up there, we were told its a different boxer, he has had 10 and won 5, so we said ok we will take that, after the bout last Friday in Newcastle, the boxer ( D. Hughes. hulton) told us his record, we were not happy, he has had 20 bouts winning 15 of them, he was N.A.B.C. champion, boxed for England, and had KO' d his last 3 opponents.

This will never happen when I am matching fights, and when im not matching I will see every medical card to make sure nothing like this happens again.

Luckily Tyson is a class act and put in a supreme performance knocking his opponent out in 30 seconds of round 1.
