\n Fifteen-year-old Isaac Brewin trains at Craven Community Boxing Club and has won four of his first five amateur bouts.\n<\/p>\n
\n He is now aiming for a title shot at the club\u2019s second home show in late May.\n<\/p>\n
\n Brewin said: “I still don’t really see what was wrong with the schoolboy fight club.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It was all organised with proper rules and well-matched bouts.\n<\/p>\n
\n “My interest in boxing really began during lockdown when I was nine.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I watched the Rocky films and couldn’t stop shadowboxing.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Getting my first pair of gloves was a special moment \u2013 probably the best present a boy can have.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Since joining Craven Community Boxing Club less than two years ago,\u00a0Brewin\u00a0has quickly built a reputation as a dedicated and technically skilled young boxer.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “It’s not quite two years since I joined, and I’ve come on a lot in that time.\n<\/p>\n
\n “There’s nothing like being on a show.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s your chance to show how hard you’ve worked in training and test yourself properly.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s about proving what you’re made of, both physically and mentally.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Brewin’s\u00a0debut bout took place at the Barnsley Metrodome in front of around 1,000 spectators.\n<\/p>\n
\n Though just 14, he kept his composure and performed with confidence.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “I was nervous, but also excited.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I felt confident because of the work I’d put in.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I focused on controlling the range and using my jab effectively.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It was an amazing experience at a top venue.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Since then, he has fought in other venues including Skipton, Bradford, and Morley.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mark Shaw, head coach and founder of the club, said: “Isaac is an excellent student.\n<\/p>\n
\n “He showed natural aptitude early on, but his success is largely down to his willingness to listen and his desire to improve his boxing IQ.\n<\/p>\n
\n “That\u2019s what separates boxing from simply brawling \u2013 understanding the technical details and applying them under pressure.\n<\/p>\n
\n “In the ring, Isaac shows a strong ability to adapt to his opponent.\n<\/p>\n
\n “He\u2019s enthusiastic, committed and already setting a positive example for the younger boxers in the gym.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Brewin\u00a0said boxing has had a wider impact on his life, beyond competition.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “This gym is my safe place.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I feel at home here.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I had a month out last autumn through illness and found it difficult mentally.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Coming back made a huge difference straight away.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s not just the training, it\u2019s being around people who share the same goals.\n<\/p>\n
\n “A few of my friends from school have joined as well, and it keeps us focused and away from negative influences.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I’d encourage any teenager to give it a go.”\n<\/p>\n
\n While boxing\u2019s physical demands can be concerning for parents,\u00a0Brewin’s\u00a0mother Emma said the family\u2019s pride outweighs their nerves.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: “Of course I worry \u2013 I think every parent would.\n<\/p>\n
\n “But his dad Ricky, his siblings and I are incredibly proud of what he\u2019s achieved.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I’m probably more nervous than he is before a bout, but I wouldn’t miss it.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s clear that Mark genuinely cares about each boxer, and that gives us real confidence.”\n<\/p>\n
\n With a potential title fight on the horizon and momentum building behind him,\u00a0Brewin’s\u00a0journey is just beginning.\n<\/p>\n
\n Those closest to him believe it\u2019s one grounded in dedication and discipline – qualities that have already made him a standout figure at his club and a rising star in the local boxing scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fifteen-year-old Isaac Brewin trains at Craven Community Boxing Club and has won four of his first five amateur…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594735,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-594734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594734\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
