EASTGATE ABC’s Tommy Taylor will now have to box in a semi-final tie to earn a place in the final of the ABA National Schoolboys’ Championship at 75kg.

The youngster initially received a bye into the final, in Mansfield, where he would have faced the Northern section winner but will now tackle Callum Dougall, of Orpington, in Feltham, this Sunday.

His team-mate, Jake Dykstra will face West Ham’s Charlie Kenny in his semi-final at 52kg.
