Amateur boxer Zeeshan Khan is celebrating a notable win double.
The 16-year-old Karmand member beat the No 3-rated England junior, then followed it up with another impressive scalp against a far more experienced opponent.
Khan, from the Barkerend club, was beaten in the final of the National Novice Championships earlier this year for boxers who have had less than ten bouts.
But he has taken that setback in his stride and showed his potential by seeing off the highly-ranked Danny Fletcher from the Kelly's Club in Leeds.
Khan, who boxes at 54 kilos, was a winner again on a Keighley show the following week with a majority decision against Scarborough's George Rhodes, who had won 30 of his previous 39 outings.
Watched by former Karmand product Femi Fehintola at ringside, trainer Dave Cariss felt his man should have got the verdict from all three judges - particularly when Khan was awarded the Boxer of the Night accolade.
But he is putting him forward for the National Boys' Clubs Championships, which starts next month, confident that Khan can hold his own in decent company.
Karmand were also celebrating a debut win at Keighley for 58k Robin Mothersdale, who forced two standing-eight counts against Heywood's Hussain Afzal.
