Bendigo Amateur Boxing League Title on the Line

Ryan Polglaise will fight for the Victorian Amateur Boxing League’s light heavyweight title on Saturday night in a four-round contest against Jake Kavanagh. The 16-year-old boxer from Bendigo has been training at the Bendigo Fight Centre for less than two years and has undergone significant weight loss and improvement in his punching power. Polglaise’s dedication to his craft has been praised by his trainer, Lucas Allen, who says the young boxer has made an amazing transformation since starting training. “It’s been an amazing transformation by Ryan since he first started boxing,” Allen said. “He has worked incredibly hard to bring his weight down and has a lot of power in his punches.”

Polglaise’s motivation for starting training was driven by wanting to lose weight and become fitter, and he has found that boxing has helped him with discipline and focus. “I enjoy doing the work, and competing is an incredible feeling,” he said. Polglaise will face Kavanagh, who is also from Bendigo, in a rematch of their previous bout, which Polglaise won.
