Reynolds is a GB champion in Sheffield

The event was an opportunity for boxers that are not currently part of the GB Olympic boxing programme to stake a claim for Tokyo 2020 by defeating a boxer from the current GB Boxing squad.

That saw Reynolds, who is already a member of Team GB, up against Lewis Richardson from Wales.

He was crowned winner by a unanimous points decision and took to Twitter to thank all his supporters, as Reynolds said: “And I’m leaving it there!!

“Great Britain champion 2017. All about making the mother proud.

“Thank you all for your amazing support people nothing but love to you all ❤️ #TeamGB #LutonsFinest.”

On the night, 14 boxers were crowned GB Boxing champions, while there was a tense box-off for a 2018 Commonwealth Games spot between two Scottish boxers.

England Boxing were victorious in three bouts with many split decisions, showing their strength against world class competitors.
