Promising young Arnold boxer Kai Jones is making a name for himself in amateur boxing after proving himself among the best in the region at a recent competition.

The 14-year-old, who boxes for Arnold School of Boxing, made his mark at the inaugural East Midlands Box Cup competition, which attracted fighters from across the country.

The cup competition took place at the Grantham Meres Leisure Centre in Grantham.

After getting a bye in the semi-finals, Jones took on Harvey Elding from Fox Boxing Academy in Lincoln.

The Arnold youngster controlled the bout from start to finish using his long jab to great effect and not allowing the smaller Elding to get in close.

Jones was declared the winner on all the judges scorecards.
