Blantyre boxer Jacob Naismith created history in Turkey at the weekend when he became Scotland’s youngest fighter to take the 46kg EUBC schools crown – and the first-ever European champion for O’Neil’s ABC in Cambuslang.
The 14-year-old defeated Ireland’s James Michael Casey by a 3-2 split decision in the 46kg final in Erzurum to take gold for Scotland in front of his dad Ross.
It was Jacob’s 14th straight win in all competitions and he now holds a record of 26 wins and four defeats, with his last loss back in March 2020.
