A boxer from Torfaen Warriors ABC returned home with a gold medal from a tournament in Finland to get the news he’d been picked to represent Wales.
Shane McIntrye was one of six Gwent boxers taken to compete in the Prikka Cup by Simon Weaver and fellow coaches from Torfaen Warriors ABC. He will be fighting for Wales in the GB Three Nations 2024 tournament in June.

A selection of clubs from our East Division recently took a group of boxers to the Prikka Box Cup in Finland, coming home with a sensational set of results!
Six boxers travelled out, four returning with gold medals and two with silver!
Llongyfarchiadau to Torfaen Warriors’ Shane McIntyre and Riley Wheatstone, who both won gold, as well as the club’s Owain Short for his silver.
St. Joseph’s Raj Singh also claimed top spot in his category, while Tyler Gibbs of Cwmbran took another silver for the select group.
A special mention must go to Jenzen Miguel-Powell, also of Torfaen Warriors, who not only won gold but was also named Best U15 Boxer of the Tournament!
Huge well done to all who travelled out for such a successful trip!
