Hide AdAnia and Farrah are both national champions and they went toe to toe and put on a show stopper.
Farrah was the best girl on the night as she got the win, but credit to Ania as the contest could have gone either way and highlighted that they are two talented 16-year-old girls with bright futures ahead of them in the sport.
Farrah is going from strength to strength and is now 11 bouts into her amateur career while still in her first season boxing and with only 17 months experience.
Farrah has now heard that she has been accepted onto England Boxing Youth Open Talent Pathway Day in Tamworth, where she will get the chance to showcase her talents further and will be assessed for a possible shot at representing her country.

"She has gone to work since her defeat on our home show and improved her fitness.”
Farrah’s only loss was a narrow one when she stepped up a weight division to take on her fellow national development champion, Tallulah Pulling, from Beverley, in a Yorkshire Challenge belt contest.
