Hi everyone,
Would just like to say we are thankful and grateful for all who played a part and supported the Barn’s very own Sonny Campbell over the last 2 weeks.
Sonny is an outstanding kid, both in and out the gym, and we knew he would come into his very own at this year’s Scottish Championships.
In his first fight of the tournament, he came up against a very fit and strong boy from the very well-established and terrifically run club, Doonhamers. Sonny stuck to the plan in this fight, that seen him run out a comfortable winner.
Next up was a very strong boy from East Lothian Haddington Boxing Club. Once again, Sonny stuck to the plan that saw him win the semi-final unanimously. Have to mention the young boy’s father, who was very magnanimous in defeat and very complimentary to Sonny’s performance.
Then on to the final. Sonny was up against a very strong boy from Arbroath Boxing Club, who bravely won his first 2 fights for the right to take his chance in the final.
Once again, Sonny boxed very well behind his jab, stepping in and out to execute a unanimous decision over the young boy from Arbroath, who, if gold medals were handed out for effort and manners inside and outside the ring, both these kids would have been handed gold medals.
But as it is, there could only be one winner on the day, and Sonny ran out a well-worthy winner to be crowned the new Scottish Champion 2026 to see the love emotion smiles and relief lol on Sonnys mum and grans face along with the rest of the family is the memories we are in this game to make
So thankful and grateful to Kayden, Liam and Franco for sparring with Sonny leading up to his championships. Helped him immensely.
PS: The numbers coming through the door to watch all the kids in the championships was very uplifting and can only be good for the kids and the game as a whole.
Once again, thankful and grateful to everyone involved. Have to say, if there is a bigger smile on anybody’s face than Sonny’s tonight it would be the Godfather of the Barn Boxing Club, our beloved Amigo Rab Bannan.
PS: To all the kids out there, keep up the roadwork, stay safe and stay fit.
God bless
