ESSEX University Boxing Club's Sheena Nobili claimed a superb gold at the prestigious three-day Haringey Box Cup, at Alexandra Palace.

She saw off Attleborough’s Lily Devlin to claim victory and add to the British Universities Championship (BUCS) title she claimed, earlier in the season.

Nobili started off how she meant to go on, with a straight left back hand from her southpaw stance.

Moving off quickly behind a jab, she returned to the fray with a solid right to the body followed by left-right to the head.

Devlin could not cope with the pressure and power of the Essex University boxer.

Maintaining the pace, it was not long before the referee stepped in and gave an eight count in the second round and two in the third as Nobili claimed a fine win.

Charlie Shave claimed a silver medal after producing a terrific semi-final performance against Sonny Wharton, from Henry’s Gym.

The 18-year-old struggled to find his range in the first minute and was pushed around by Wharton.

A few spoiling tactics had a positive effect on Shave who then put his boxing together, landing left-right combinations.

It forced Wharton to resort to holding, pushing and hitting after the bell.

Shave was spurred on to make Wharton miss and then respond with accuracy, helping the Essex University boxer book a final meeting with England youth international Jake Kinsella.

With his southpaw stance, Kinsella dictated the bout.

Shave is a battler who never gives up and had repeated success with fast punches but Kinsella claimed gold.

Louie O’Doherty also claimed silver after being controversially out-pointed by Chadwell St Mary’s Jimmy Croxon, in the final.

Having won a split in his quarter-final on Friday against Trowbrige's Tom Varey, the Essex University boxer then faced Far Cotton’s Keith Church in his semi-final.

Both bouts were tough encounters, with O'Doherty having to work really hard to secure the wins.

O’Doherty was full of energy ready to do battle against his old adversary Croxon, who took the first round.

The Essex University boxer initially struggled with his range with Croxon standing nearly a foot taller and with reach much the same.

However, O'Doherty has good speed and agility and when he is on a roll, he is great to watch.

O'Doherty roared back in it in the second round with fast four and five punch combinations, making his opponent miss more.

He dominated the final round with his accuracy and looked to have done more than enough to secure the verdict.

But once again, a split decision went against him and he had to settle for silver.

Essex University middleweight Lee Scott had his first taste of the Haringey Box Cup.

He faced St Francis's Shaun O’Brien, who took the verdict over three rounds.

It was a gallant performance from Scott who had to step up in class, against the tough Irishman.

Nerves got hold off Scott initially but he pulled himself into the bout with some strong backhand punches.

Even though the verdict went against him, Scott can take confidence from this fight knowing he is able to match up with the better boxers.

Welterweight Reese Wade took on adversary Paul Gordon from Harwich ABC, in his quarter-final.

From the opening bell, Wade dominated with strong combinations especially the right hand over the top which sealed the first round.

Gordon, who went on to win gold, stepped up in the second with the bout hinging on who has the best final round.

Wade struggled with Gordon’s strength being the telling factor, landing a 2-1 punch ratio.
