Best U15 Female Boxer: Mackenzie Allen - QLD

Best Male Youth Boxer: Aaron Grealey - QLD

Best Female Youth Boxer: Paige Robinson - QLD

Best Youth Male Team: Queensland

Best Youth Female Team: Queensland

Best Junior Team: Queensland

Best U15 Team: Queensland

withoutt a doubt this will go down as one of the most succesful teams Qld have produced.

We have 6 athletes Jaye Dixon, Craig Evers, Aaron Grealey, Mathew Lyons, Paige Robinson & Sahara Dempsey who now have the opportunity to represent Australia at the Youth World Titles in Spain later this year. While they did win a National title it doesn't mean automatic selection, so fingers crossed that the selection panel see fit to select all 5 of them.

Boxing Qld has shown that we are stronger than ever and are definitely leading the way in Australia with Junior/youth development.

A massive shout out to Frankie Pianto and the coaching team who attended and cornered this very large successful team, it's a credit to you all.
