PENZANCE-BASED Pure Class Boxing Club enjoyed a resounding success at the weekend when they travelled to Portsmouth for the WCBC Fight Night.

The club had two fighters at this event – Jamie Hoskin, fighting in a cruiserweight bout and club coach Sean Bowman, fighting for the WCBC Super Featherweight Championship title.

The club had massive support with more than 150 people turning out to cheer on the two Penzance fighters.

First up, was Jamie, fighting an opponent trained by a 6th Dan Black Belt top instructor.

He took the fight to his opponent from the opening in his trademark style.

Jamie covered up in all the right places and let the hammer fly when he could see the shots.

He landed some hard punches on his plucky opponent and threw some great combinations, and was just too strong for him earning a unanimous victory decision.

Next up fighting was club coach Sean Bowman.

This was always set to be the fight of the night. His opponent has won all bar one of his previous bouts and is trained by world renowned pro boxer Colton Lynch in a professional gym, but he was no match for Sean.

Sean owned the fight from the outset, showing everyone there exactly how it's supposed to be done. Sean used his footwork and speed to dodge practically every punch that was thrown at him, countering with some effortless combinations. His opponent was still trying to come forward, but Sean was in a different league and just ducked the punches and landed some hard, sharp shots right on target.

Just before the bell in the first round, Sean caught his opponent with a perfect straight right and his opponent was down and out and it was game over.

This is a great achievement for club coach Sean Bowman, who is going from strength to strength. He is already two time world champion kickboxer, British champion, K1 Irish Anglo champion, European champion and now the new WCBC Super Featherweight champion. Sean has had five knock outs in his last five bouts and is the only kickboxing and WCBC boxing champion in Cornwall. He will next be defending his WCBC title on April 24.
