Macleod out for National Youth ABA success
Sunderland boxer Wallace Macleod has shown his class by boxing his way into the National Youth ABA 52kg semifinals which are taking place at Birtley Amateur Boxing club this weekend.
The semi-finals and finals are scheduled to be held over this weekend with some exciting and explosive bouts on the card.
Sunderland ABC fighter Macleod has shown some fantastic skills when facing numerous champions from many regions to get into the semi-finals.
He now competes to take national glory, and hopefully to make his mark on the international scene by winning the prestigious title.
The North East region will be represented by other youths who have been successful in reaching this stage of the competition.
Sunderland ABC are putting on their own boxing show at the Roker Hotel, Roker Terrace, this Friday evening and are looking to put on a top class boxing show.
Doors open at 7pm and the boxing show starts at 8pm, with tickets £15 on the door.

*Oxford United have declined a request from Blackpool to speak to head coach Karl Robinson about the vacant managerial position at Bloomfield Road.
The Tangerines, who are 14th in League One, are on the lookout for Simon Grayson's successor following his sacking on February 12.
But Oxford, currently one point outside the play-off positions, are not willing to let Robinson go.
