Kane Tucker a Member of The St John Bosco A.B.C Newry is on his way to Denmark after being selected to Box in the famous HSK Cup multinational tournament.
To be selected at this level is a great achievement for any one. However at this point Kane is in high demand as he has been selected for both the Ulster, and Irish squads where his younger brother Jake trains also.
The amount of time and effort Kane has dedicated to the sport is really paying off he is a young man with a bright future. He has the full backing and support of the full team at St John Bosco ABC.
Gerard Moore from the Club said "We will continue to develop Kane in the club as well as his training with the Ulster squad on Saturdays and the Irish squad on Sundays.
"Training with the likes of Irish High Performance coach Zaur Antia and his team of international coaches, and local legend and international boxer Adrian Patterson along with the rest of the coaches at the club the sky’s the limit.
"We know the People of Newry and Mourne will get behind this young man and the St John Bosco Boxing club in blazing a trail in the world of boxing which will see Newry as an epicentre of future boxing stars. With the success of St John Bosco’s boxers and our plans to develop a Centre of boxing excellence we are sure of future success."
Gerard added "The club would like to wish Ryan McKeown luck in his comeback fight in the Antrim intermediates next week in Belfast. Ryan is a great prospect for the club and we are sure Ryan will be the next senior boxer the town has produced. Ryan is a tremendous asset to the club with the younger boxers watching and learning from the way he trains."
If you can help, the club has kindly been donated a very large portacabin from a local builder and are looking for anyone who can help in the transporting of this from one end of Newry to the Bosco youth centre on the Armagh Road.
