Thomas\u2019 mum, Amanda, said: \u201cThere are honestly no words to describe how proud we are of Thomas for becoming National Champion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTo watch our little boy work so hard, push through every challenge and dedicate himself completely to the sport he loves has been emotional beyond belief.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople only see the fights, but they don\u2019t see the early mornings, the exhaustion, the sacrifices, the nerves, the tears and the determination it has taken to get here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ThomasThomas with his medal Pic: England Boxing<\/p>\n

\u201cThomas has given everything to achieve this dream, and seeing him crowned National Champion is a moment we will never ever forget.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what he goes on to achieve in boxing, we are already so proud of the kind, hardworking and humble young man he is becoming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to his amazing coaches, supporters and sponsors for standing beside him and believing in him every step of the way. Our hearts are bursting with pride.\u201d<\/p>\n
