NEON Boxing Academy has continued its powerful run on the national amateur boxing scene, celebrating major championship success in Sydney while also delivering a clean sweep performance at the No Deal tournament.<\/p>\n

The Redland Bay-based club produced standout results at the prestigious King & Queen of the Ring tournament, held from April 9-12, with two elite athletes crowned champions against top-tier opposition from across Australia and overseas.<\/p>\n

Kipa \u201cTha Ripa\u201d Keremete reinforced his reputation as one of the country\u2019s most dangerous amateur boxers, claiming the 2026 King of the Ring title in the 75kg division \u2013 adding to his previous crown at 70kg.<\/p>\n

He saved his best for the final, delivering a masterclass performance marked by elite ring IQ, sharp timing and impenetrable defence to secure a dominant victory.<\/p>\n

Zahara \u201cThe Mad Cinderella\u201d Lane matched the feat, claiming the Queen of the Ring title in the 65kg division with a composed and calculated campaign.<\/p>\n

She handled a tough, forward-pressing southpaw in the semi-final with smart jab work and precise shot selection, before elevating again in the final.<\/p>\n

Back on home soil, the club\u2019s depth was on full display at the No Deal tournament, where fighters across all age groups delivered four wins and a standout exhibition bout.<\/p>\n

At 65, Dave \u201cYoung Dave\u201d Logan impressed in an exhibition against an opponent 21 years his junior.<\/p>\n

Rising talent William \u201cBXR Will\u201d Turnbull, just 12 years old, continued his rapid development with a dominant unanimous decision victory.<\/p>\n

Scott \u201cSuper Scotty\u201d Myler backed up a recent bout against the same opponent with an improved performance, earning a well-deserved win that reflected his growth.<\/p>\n

National champion Gene \u201cThe Machine\u201d Keremete delivered one of the night\u2019s most explosive moments, stopping his opponent within 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

Luke \u201cMad Dog\u201d Morrison capped the event in style, winning what judges described as fight of the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BY KARINA LAY NEON Boxing Academy has continued its powerful run on the national amateur boxing scene, celebrating…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":637477,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,308546,85],"class_list":["post-637476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-redland-bay","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637476","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=637476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/637477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=637476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=637476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
