Charley Davison won the most anticipated contest in Usti on Day3

England’s Charley Davison, the two-time Olympian, won the most anticipated contests on the third competition day at the 54^th edition of the Grand Prix Usti nad Labem.  

One of the most anticipated contests were held between China’s Asian Games winner Chang Yuan and England’s two-time Olympian Charley Davison. The English coaches analysed the experienced Chang very well and their strategy paid off in this fantastic bantamweight (54kg) bout.

The Czech girls amazed in the women’s lightweight (60kg) on Day2 and their European silver medallist Lenka Bernardova won her next meeting against England’s Sameenah Toussaint. The young Barbara Maxova was also competitive on Day3 but China’s Yang Wenlu had the routine to handle the local teenager’s attacks successfully.

China’s Asian Games winner and World Champion Yang Liu has long hands, excellent jabs and brilliant technical skills to control her contests in Usti nad Labem as well. The 32-year-old welterweight (66kg) boxer was too smart for Czech Republic’s Dominika Ciklova in their meeting on Day3.

Sweden’s Nebil Ibrahim earned a surprise bronze medal at the European Games in Poland last June and he is in top shape before the Olympics. The Swedish featherweight (57kg) boxer was stronger than the 19-year-old local boy, Filip Horvath and he won the title of the Grand Prix in this division.

Kelvin Soquessa represented the Czech Republic in several events this year and the 22-year-old light middleweight (71kg) boxer succeeded against Germany’s Michael Siemens on Day3. England’s Paris Olympian Patrick Brown and Norway’s Attia Saleheddin both proved their strengths in the session.

China’s Asian Games winner Tuohetaerbieke Tanglatihan was not only quicker than Czech Republic’s Jindrich Janecka but his stronger punches were decisive in the third round. China’s second male Olympian for Paris, Han Xuezhen had a nice gameplay against Germany’s Laurens Hagen and he also won his next heavyweight (92kg) battle.
