CARDIGAN ABC are celebrating another Welsh title.
Fishguard 17-year-old Mikey O’Sullivan captured the national 57kg youth crown with a comfortable points decision over Leland Butler, of Pontyclun.
The Cardigan boxer spent three rounds struggling to nail his spirited opponent down and eventually had to be satisfied with a unanimous points win.
The following week Cardigan veteran Billy Myers battled his way to victory over Tyler Evans (Gilfach Goch) at Tenby Leisure Centre.
