Title fight for youngster King
Young Luton fighter Sam King has been selected by England Boxing for a Youth title belt encounter against Birmingham’s George Bance.
The bout will be a huge test for the Lutonian whose opponent won gold in the European Championships in 2017, backing that up with a silver medal the following year.
King who is currently the U69kg England Youth champion said: “It is fantastic that England Boxing have selected me to compete for the new Youth title belt.
“I take real pride in pulling on an England vest and representing my country and I am so looking forward to doing it again.
“It is so hard to earn selection as the standards are so high.”
