Gold for Sligo boxer Jason Clancy in prestigious Haringey Box Cup in London
This Box Cup is one of the biggest and toughest in Europe the venue was the fabulous Alexandra Palace looking down on London city.
Maduzi, in his first International tournament, was very unlucky not to get the win and it was felt the referee was a bit harsh in the 3rd round.
Maduzi will learn from this experience going forward. This was Clancy's third attempt at Haringey gold and this year he didn't hold back, the Sligo boxer had a fantastic tournament, winning his final bout in style against an English Champion.
This gave him a standing count in the third to be crowned Haringey Box Cup champion in the 86kg category.
Clancy and Maduzi's coach, Jason Clancy snr, who couldn't attend, said he was gutted he couldn't be there in the boys' corners, but is very proud of their performances over the weekend.
'They showed me the training and dedication myself and James have done behind closed doors in Seán McDermott has paid off and we are very proud of them,' he added.
