Berinsfield's Mikey Joyce tore apart Lydney rival Luke Jobson in the opening round of this year's NABC Championships at Bristol.

He took control of their Class B (17 years) light heavyweight encounter from the bell by attacking his opponent's midriff with both hands and then moving upstairs to land meaningful right hands off the jab.

Joyce now boxes in Newbury on Saturday, October 28 when fellow Berinsfield prospect Robbie Wright hopes to join him if he wins his Class C (18 years) welterweight clash against Paignton rival Ben Wakeman at Lydney this weekend.

There was disappointment though for Josh Best, who went down on a split decision to Isle of Wight opponent Chezerae Wingate.

*Berinsfield's John Collins started the season with a polished points win over Cheshunt's George Goddard at Milton Keynes.

The 14-year-old flyweight had to come from behind after his Hertfordshire rival set the early pace to claim the opening round.

Thame's Ashley Stuart also had his arm raised in triumph after gaining a split decision over Andy Neville, from the host MK Victors gym.

The Oxfordshire southpaw was quicker to impose his authority, which proved crucial in deciding the outcome.

Berinsfield light welterweight Fred Brown gained an impressive points win over Birmingham rival Steve Groom at Bedford.

The 22-year-old dictated the pace in all three rounds.
