Bicester duo Sammy Ait-Tales and Jack Wheeler enjoyed points victories at the Fighting Fit Gym’s show in Banbury.

Teenage welterweight Jack Wheeler battled hard to beat Birmingham’s Nasar Kurdish.

Then middleweight Ait-Tales, 23, defeated Kurdish’s clubmate, Danny Gibb, also on points. Wheeler had something to prove following a close defeat in his previous contest, and quickly threw a four punch combination to the body which forced Kurdish to take a step back in the first round.

He then stepped on the gas to take control of the second round.

Wheeler landed a left hook to the body which had Kurdish wincing with pain.

The Bicester man then piled up the points in the final round with a five-punch combination to both body and head in the last ten seconds to wrap up a 30-27 points win.

Ait-Tales was in similarly good form, despite giving away both weight and experience.

The first round was fairly even until Ait-Tales landed a straight left punch that knocked Gibb on to the ropes.

In round two, the Bicester boxer landed regular punches and pushed his rival onto the back foot. Another straight left, followed by a looping right hand had Gibb in all sorts of trouble.

Ait-Tales then landed clusters of punches to both body and head and a fierce left hook had his opponent visiting the canvas in the final round. Gibb managed to hold on to the final bell, but Ait-Tales took a unanimous 30-27 win.

Bicester’s head coach Daza Usher said: “Sammy and Jack have shown real dedication in the gym, not only in the lead up to the show, but since joining two years ago.

“The discipline and dedication the two lads have shown has been tremendous and now they are reaping the rewards.”
