Yorkshire title joy for Whitby Boxing Club star Mason Stainthorpe

The Whitby BC team headed down the coast to Bridlington CYP for the Yorkshire Junior finals with Corey Greaves and Stainthorpe both in action.

First up Whitby had Corey Greaves in action, knowing it was going to be tough task competing against a very strong Logan Palmer from Tommy Coyles, the Whitby fighter putting in a very strong performance throughout.

The cleaner work ultimately came from young Palmer who went on to win on the judges scorecards.

In as little time it took to walk from the red corner over to the blue Whitby BC had Mason boxing.

The club’s social media account said: “Well prepared and confident going into the fight, Mason executed the tactics of box and move brilliantly in all three rounds.

"A very good performance taking all five judges scorecards, Mason now becomes the Yorkshire junior champion at U60kg.”

Stainthorpe lost on a split decision against the NW champion in Blackburn on Sunday in the pre quarter finals of the national junior championships.
