In the 57kg class, featherweight Jack (14), who trains at Cleland Amateur Boxing Club, produced an outstanding display of boxing to outpoint his rival 14-10 at the Ravenscraig Sports Facility in Motherwell.

And Carluke High pupil Jack will be hoping for a repeat performance when he bids to win the British title later this month at the same venue.
