Gym owner and boxing coach at No Limits, Jason Naylor, said he had full confidence in his fighters, who have put in months of hard work leading up to the competition.
“I’m proud of the effort put in by all the boys leading up to the novice titles. All they have left to do now is bring that hard work to the ring this weekend,” Naylor said.
Warriors Gym have done well in past years in the open nationals, but this will be the first time they have competed in the novice nationals.
