Rebecca Stone (SILVER) ENG

“I’m really, really happy with it. There are obviously a few things that we are going to work on from it but I’m really happy the only bad thing is that I didn’t get gold but it was on a split so I would rather a split than unanimous you know.”

Ben Norman (SILVER) ENG

“Yea I’m happy with my performance, it got a bit sloppy in the second I thought I just got the first and third in my opinion but no a cracking fight I think on a 3 T split, a bit annoying that I lost but you’ve got to look at the level, its international level now but yea I’m happy with my performance, onwards and upwards.

“I’ve really enjoyed it, it’s been an absolute dream spending time in the houses is what Antony Joshua does and it’s been absolutely brilliant.”

56kg Brad Strand v Stephen Boyle (Scotland) won split points

Stephen Boyle (SILVER) SCO

“My performance was good I’ve only recently been training so it was good to get back and fight and then to beat a top boy in the first fight a they to box the English Champion and get beat on a split. It was a very close fight, but it could have gone either way and I’m happy with how I’ve performed.”

“It’s really good. It brings a lot of boys on that haven’t been around, I’ve been about for a good few years, but it brings all the boys on that don’t get many fights and then especially when the likes of the English boys get to box for England which is a very hard thing to do.”

Brad Strand (GOLD) ENG

“I feel like I boxed really well I got my first knockdown as well so happy.” Brad said “Its been good I’ve won it as a Schoolboy and a Youth but to win it as a Senior is icing on the cake.”

57kg Raven Chapman v Victoria Glover (Scotland) lost split points 

Raven Champman (SLVER) ENG

“It definitely wasn’t my best performance today,” Champan said. “I was struggling a bit with my breathing and what cost me was the first round. I was going in a bit too much, too quickly instead of going in behind my jab. I think maybe the occasion got to me a little bit so I was rushing instead of working behind my technique.

“Hopefully, I’ll get more experience in the future and see what happens. I’ll still work hard, and I’ll have Haringey in a few weeks.”

Victoria Glover (GOLD) SCO

“I can’t even describe it it’s the best feeling ever, I can’t even describe it, its like the best feeling ever I’ve trained so hard for it and I wanted it so much. I feel like I’ve earned it so I can have a good break now. It was a good girl that I beat so it’s a good win.”

It means a lot to me. Last year I became the first Scottish Female Youth to win the GB Three Nations and now that’s two years in a row. I’m making history so that’s a big achievement”

Hannah Robinson (GOLD) ENG

“I’m over the moon with my win today,” Robinson said. “I boxed Shanice in the Elite finals and it was close and it was close again here. I have a lot of respect for her, but I’m pleased to win today. I have a GB assessment at the end of the month so hopefully, that will go well.

“It’s good to represent my country. It was my England debut and to win is a bonus. To have a GB assessment means everything to me, it means all the sacrifices, the weight cutting, and training would have been all worthwhile if I have the chance to be on the GB team.”
