TJ Knight is White Rose Boxing Club’s latest Yorkshire champ

Wakefield-based White Rose Boxing Club has a new Yorkshire champion in its ranks following success enjoyed by TJ Knight.

Fifteen-year-old TJ became Yorkshire champion at the 46kg category and after winning his pre-quarter bout unanimously against a North West region boxer last week he is now ready to move into the national semi-finals.

This success comes following TJ winning his second belt this season, the junior 48kg elite Yorkshire belt, when defeating Jack McKinley, of Athletic Boxing Club, in February.

He will compete in the national semi-finals later this month and will compete for his third Yorkshire belt on White Rose Boxing Club’s upcoming home show on April 18 when he will take on Timmy Nelson, of Rourkey's gym in Bradford.
