Newell on ABA trail
Date published: 01 March 2013
BOXING: JOHN Newell sets out on the senior ABA glory trail tonight.
A member of Ben Lancaster’s Boarshaw gym, the teenager faces Hughie Fury, cousin of leading British heavyweight Tyson, in the first round at Cedar Mount School, Gorton.
Victory in the light-heavyweight (75kg) contest would seal a place in the area final, and move Newell a step closer to adding a senior title to the junior ABA crown he won earlier in his amateur career.
