Halifax fighter Glasgow beats Brier to reach final
Halifax Boxing Club’s Kaymn Glasgow booked his place in the NAC Yorkshire Championships final with a battling performance in Bridlington last weekend.
Glasgow, a former junior fighter at the club, has enjoyed great success since returning to Halifax as an adult boxer and won eight straight bouts to reach the finals of the Development Championships last October.
He continued that winning form into the NAC Championships preliminaries at Bridlington Community Centre, where Glasgow faced Haringey Box Cup champion Antonio Brier, from the Almond ABC, in the 70 to 75kg semi-finals.
The very strong and experienced Brier made a strong start and claimed the first round of a non-stop fight between two evenly-matched opponents.
Glasgow responded by winning the second round and following a close third round, the verdict could have gone either way but it was the Halifax fighter who got the judges’ verdict.
The win propels Glasgow into the final where he will take on Bridlington ABC’s Oliver Mare, a national and European champion who will pose a tough challenge.
Glasgow will also appear at the Halifax Boxing Club show on March 21. Tickets are available from Mick Rowe on 07870 266002.
