WO Phoenix Olympic Boxing Centre schoolboy boxers won Regional Merseyside and Cheshire Championships on Sunday.

Zac Hopwood, aged 14, won in explosive style at class three in the 66kg category, with a first-round stoppage against Mark Crockett, of Huyton ABC.

Hopwood continually beat Crockett to the punch and forced two standing counts for an automatic stoppage.

Grady James, aged 11, won at minor class, 42kg, with a 3-2 points win against Matthew Maddison, of Huyton ABC, in a very tactical and highly technical bout.

They both go through to the national quarter finals on February 7, again at the Alsop Sports Centre in Liverpool.

Jamie Hopwood, aged 14, lost his class two, 50kg, final to James Delaney, of Vauxhall Motors, 2-0 in a tactical bout.

Jamie Aramayo, aged 11, lost his minor class, 48kg, bout to Kane Burnett, of St Aloysius, 10-5.
