Inverness City Boxing Club squad ready to go for gold at Odivelas Box Cup in Portugal

Inverness City Boxing Club trio George Stewart, Calum Turnbull and Adian Williamson will look to make the next step up in their careers when they compete against top fighters from across Europe.

The trio are travelling to Portugal to compete at the Odivelas Box Cup which starts tomorrow.

Head coach Laurie Redfern says each athlete has proven themselves at national level and now wants to see what they can do in international competition.

“I have decided to take these three boys as they are the most experienced at the club fighting in international competition.

“The tournament will have some of the top boxers from France, Italy and Spain competing. It is quite an established tournament.

“There are a number of clubs in Scotland taking part and I have asked about what we can expect.”

Two of the fighters have already experienced success on the continent when they competed at the Limassol Box Cup in Cyprus in October.
