BRIZE FIGHTERS
BOXING

Oxfordshire transport station’s boxers show their mobility

IT WAS an evening of top
boxing action and results worthy
of marking 100 years of the
Lord Wakefield Novice Boxing
Championships at Cranwell
recently.
A card of more than 80
boxers provided some high-class
entertainment for the capacity
crowd, over nine different weight
categories.
On the night Brize provided five
finalists, with four champions, to
take the Major Station Title, while
II Sqn, RAF Regiment, won the
2019 RAF Regiment Team Crown.
A reinvigorated RAF Digby Team
beat RAF Akrotiri to the Minor
Unit Title.
