Aaron Fletcher of Shildon ABC has returned with a bronze medal from the Presidents Cup in held in Azerbaijan after being controversially beaten at the semi-final stage.
There were ten nations competing in the Cup at Baku, Azerbaijan and the England coaches thought Aaron was harshly denied a final place.
But after strong protest with the official in charge the judges decision stood although Aaron thought he easily won his semi-final and was disappointed with the decision.
Aaron would like to thank all of his coaches for the support they gave him.
He would also like to thank the sponsors of the boxing club and Billy Drennan who sponsors him personally.
