Well done to all our boxers who took their wins and losses with respect. It’s been a privilege to watch many of you grow not only in our sport but as people.
To the coaches Ben & Adam, results speak for themselves amazing work and to all fellow coaches, parents ams families what a strong unit. Great stuff.

Last but far from least, our incredible athlete sponsors on this international NZ journey Slater Law & Webb and Wills Construction, thank you!

Your support means far more to us than financial backing. Your investment in our boys helps provide our mental strength.

We know that when you stand behind us, you’re not simply sponsoring you’re backing people, dreams, families, and a journey that means so much more than the result.

I’ve said it before, We fight for more than ourselves. We fight for our club, our families, our supporters, and for everyone who has believed in us along the way.

And to each and every one of our incredible loyal club sponsors, we are truly, deeply grateful.

Been a pleasure to help corner Louis over the past few days.

He won the GG title and today had a challenge bout with an extremely talented Qlder.

There would have been no complaints if the red corner was announced the winner but today meant more then who’s hand was raised.

Two of the brightest young stars coming up in Australia.

Congratulations Louis, MGL Victoria Boxing Club 🌍
Gunnar & Coach Ali amazing work

GOLDEN GLOVES RUNNER UP — AYDEN “MUCKATAH MAULER” HICKS! 🥈🥊

What a journey it’s been for AJ!

from learning his craft in the regional country towns of Numurkah and Cobram, and now in Shepparton, Ayden has continued to develop, improve and put in the work.

He’s a dedicated young man who travels many kilometres every week to train with us.

As a student, AJ is one of the best listeners and observers you could ask for. He takes it all in, works hard and gives everything he has to become the best boxer he can be.

Three fights with us. Three explosive fights,
Sometimes your the hammer Somtimes your the nail and with three counts referee waved it off.

Boxing is a journey, and we’d like to think there have been many people along the way who have contributed to this achievement. Every coach, training partner, family member and supporter has played their part.

Congratulations AJ, we’re all proud of your tournament

And a special mention to ya old man, who held up well in the corner!

Urijah Harrington has done it again!

Claiming the International Golden Gloves title with a unanimous decision victory, adding another major achievement to an already impressive journey and further establishing himself as one of the most accomplished boxers in our region.

What makes this one so special is knowing what this young man has had to overcome behind the scenes, it makes this achievement all the more meaningful to those closest to him.

Urijah did what Urijah Does,
He boxed.

Intelligent. Composed. Calculated.

He truly embodies everything that is sweet about the science of our sport. He reads the fight, makes adjustments, finds his rhythm and, once he settled in, began landing at will.

Credit to his opponent, who was game, brave and brought a tremendous challenge.
Urijah found his rhythm, took control and secured a unanimous victory.

Urijah Harrington is becoming one of the most established boxers in our region, and days like this are a reminder of exactly why.

Congratulations, Urijah Harrington . 🥊🏅
