Two young boxers who train at the same Barton Hill club have both taken away medals in a national competition. Tiah Ayton, 16, and Teo Miles, 15 now have seven medals between them.
The pair, who won the National Association of Boys and Girls Clubs Championships for their categories this month, are both part of the volunteer-run Barton Hill Boxing Club. The site, which was formerly the Dug Out Youth Club attended by Banksy, was saved from financial difficulties in 2017.
It trained its first national champion when Tyrese Miles won the Development Championships at aged 15. His younger brother Teo has now followed in his footsteps while Tiah, who lives in Kingswood, joined the club several years ago to follow ambitions of becoming a professional boxer.
