A teenage boxer from South Bristol who won his first national title and represented England in the same week is carrying on what is becoming a boxing dynasty.
Mckenzie Hand is undefeated as an amateur, is the current junior novice national champion, and last week won the Amateur Boxing Alliance national junior title in his weight division - albeit because his opponent couldn’t fight as he came in over the weight limit. Then, later last week, the 16-year-old boxed for England at flyweight - and won - in an England v Israel series of fights in London.
It’s the latest step towards what will hopefully be a successful amateur career setting up a professional debut, and young Mckenzie will be helping to create a Knowle West family boxing dynasty.
