Harvey Dykes is a national champion.
The Hillcrest heavyweight won a unanimous points decision over Gideon Antwi in the England Boxing National Amateur Championships final in Manchester.
The event was previously known as the Elite National Championships and ABA National Championships.
Dykes, 26, came through a tough series of bouts in the plus-92kg category.
It is unclear what the next step will for him but there are various exciting options.
His brother Charlie is also on the up, having won the heavyweight youth championship.
Charlie, who has just turned 18, boxes out of Moulsecoomb.
