A promising county boxer will compete at the Great Britain Boxing Championships in Cardiff.

John McCallum, of Bronx Boxing Gym in Tranent, will travel to Wales in his first year as a junior to compete.

The teenager, who is coached by his dad, also John, has performed well since making the step to junior from the schoolboy ranks this year.

Dad John senior told Courier Sport: "This is John's first year as a junior, and at his new weight, of 57kg.

"He's loving more time in the rounds as a junior, and enjoying moving up in weight."

The championships take place in the Welsh Capital at the end of the month.
