NABC Quarter Finals Preview

The NABC’s reach the Quarter Final stage on Sunday 11^th November at Harlow Greyhound Stadium, The Pinnacles, Roydon Road, Harlow, Essex, CM19 5DY.

Repton Boxing Club have 8 London Champions through to this stage of the National Championship !  There are 22 bouts scheduled in what guarantees to be an action packed-afternoon with champions from Essex, Suffolk, Sussex, Surrey and Kent battling against London’s finest.

The day will start with back-to-back bouts featuring Brentwood Youth stars going up against Repton and West Ham. Jake Harrison (Brentwood Youth) with a great performance in the Anglian round, looks to keep his momentum going against West Hams Thomas Gailbraith, in the Class A under 50Kg Quarter Final.

Billy Polkinghorn (Southend ABC) comes off the back of a first round stoppage win in the Anglian Finals to take on Junior ABAE Finalist Jack Brooker (Northolt ABC), which we can expect to be a great showdown.

Sam Malone (Rayleigh ABC) has racked up two good wins in the Championships so far and now faces Yahia Chelli (Dale Youth). With both boxers not afraid to stand and trade punches this will be a tough bout to call, with the winner standing a good chance of going all the way to becoming National Champion.

At Under 85Kg, the heaviest weight category of the day, current Junior ABAE Champion and reigning NABC Champion James Branch (Repton) will face Alfie Little (Strood ABC). The last time Branch boxed at the Harlow Stadium he was victorious in the 2011 Class A Finals, beating his opponent 26-1 to become NABC Champion. It may be that Little plans to stop the bout early with his aggressive style and Branch’s untested chin.

David Moore (Billericay ABC) will kick off the first of seven Class C Championship bouts as he faces ABA Champion Gerry McDonagh (Lynn ABC). Aaron Spenner (Essex University) also hopes to be the first Essex University ABC semi-finalist as he takes on Kwaku Sarpong (Repton).

Boxers will be weighing in between 11am and 1pm, with the doors opening to the public at 1pm. Boxing is scheduled to start at 2pm and is expected to finish around 7pm. Winners will go on to contest the semi-finals in Wales in a fortnights time.
