KEIGHLEY’S Ibrahim Nadim celebrated his 16th birthday with a victory in the Junior ABA Championships.

The Bury Amateur Boxing Club member defeated William McFail (Collyhurst & Moston Lads) in the North West Regional first round 44kg category by a unanimous decision after his opponent took a standing eight count.

The twice British Schoolboys’ champion could be in action again this weekend, depending on whether he gets a bye or not.

His coach at Bury, Mike Jelley, said: “Ibrahim is a lovely boxer, who trains hard and deserves his success.”
