James First (also known as Jimmy) of  Halifax Police Boxing Club becomes the clubs sixth champion in as many years, Jimmy had three fights in three weeks to become Champion of Yorkshire in the novice 64/67 category class A.  All the bouts where hard but the final one the hardest with Yorks ABC Joey buckle. The York boxer was the biggest lad Jimmy had fought and a good boxer to boot, but Jimmy worked hard with some great jab work to win unanimously on the judges score cards, well done Jimmy First who now joins the Halifax clubs hall of fame at the old lane base.

Well done ‘The Fist’

After winning his first fight in the Yorkshire ABA finals last Saturday Jimmy won again on Sunday to reach the final this Thursday at Parsons Cross, Sheffield.  It was a Great fight with Jimmy nearly stopping his opponent and storming into the final.
