Bradford boxers delivered a stunning one-two at the Commonwealth Youth Championships in the Isle of Man.

Jack Bateson, from the Bradford College AASE programme, won gold in the light-flyweight category.

And Darren Tetley was a silver medalist at light-welterweight as the city accounted for two of the seven England gongs.

Bateson, the youngest member of the team, justified his appointment as captain with a confident 21-4 opener against Kenya’s Shaffi Bakari.

His bout with Charles Didier Claudi of Mauritius lasted only a round before his opponent was disqualified after his groin guard kept coming loose and fell to the canvas.

But there was no denying Bateson’s performance against India’s Rahul Poonia in the final.

After a slow start, Bateson went through his technical repertoire in the second to establish a lead which he protected for a 13-8 success.

He said: “I’m still buzzing now. It was a great experience and I’m really glad that I’ve had so much support from the college and my family. I’m so pleased all the training and hard work has paid off.”

Bradford boxing development officer Paul Porter added: “Jack has benefited from a year of top-quality training at the college with former Scotland national team coach Kevin Smith and all the other benefits of the AASE programme, such as the training camp in Tenerife during the summer.”

Tetley, who boxes for the Platinum club, opened his account with a convincing 22-7 win over New Zealander Aryk Whalley.

An intelligent performance followed against Scot Rhys Pagan, which saw him book a final place with a 19-12 verdict.

Tetley’s showdown with dangerous Australian Daniel Lewis produced one of the most exciting contests of the finals.

The Bradford youngster forced an eight count in the first round with a chopping right hand but his Aussie opponent took a single-point advantage into the last and forced a standing eight of his own to take gold 27-24.

David Nelson, who coaches Tetley along with his brother Robert, was impressed with his efforts.

He said: “Darren couldn’t have given any more. He put all his heart and effort into it and that’s all we can ask.

“It was a step up in class for him but he showed he could control that. He boxed brilliantly in the final and it could have gone either way.”
