Student Luke Scott recently had his first ever boxing match. He only had 4 weeks notice before the match that was held at the Leicester Railway Men’s Club.

Luke has only been boxing for a year and half and originally start the sport as a hobby to get healthier before realising he was good at it.

He said ‘ In the first round I got to know what my opponent was like and how he moved. The opponent went all out and got tired quickly which I used to my advantage.

‘I’m left-handed and this is unusual in boxing. I used a lot of handwork which helped me to win on points.’

PE teacher Dan Rogers said ‘He sacrificed a lot in the 4 weeks leading up to the fight. He is well regarded at his club because of his hard work and dedication.’

Luke said ‘I now hope to participate in more boxing matches next year.’
