HIGH Wycombe boxer Lewis Frimpong will face Jake Clarke from Southampton for a place in the final of the National Novice Boxing Championship after winning his quarter-final last weekend.

He beat London champion Salem Saeed on points.

After an even first round, Frimpong dominated round two and then kept the fast-finishing Saeed at bay in round three with accurate jabs.

Head coach John MacInnes said: “Coaches James Molloy and Andy Gill have put in extra work throughout the competition with Lewis and I can see the improvements in his performances. All three are a credit to the club.”

Lewis will now try to emulate his older brother Courtney, who reached the semi-finals of this competition two years ago.
