A Crewkerne boxer has been crowned champion at an international tournament in Ireland.
Moken Mills, representing Crewkerne Boxing Club, won the prestigious Wexford Box Cup for the second consecutive year.
The tournament, which took place over three days, hosted a range of talented boxers from across Europe, including national and international champions.
Mills was part of a three-man team from the Crewkerne club, along with Archie Cross and Ollie Smith.
He began his campaign by taking on the Irish national champion and European representative in the quarter-finals.
The boxer impressed the judges with his skills, securing a unanimous decision victory.
Cross, who faced the Scottish national champion, put in a strong showing but narrowly missed out on progressing.
Smith, competing in his first open class boxing tournament, gained valuable experience despite not securing a win against a tough Irish champion.
Both Cross and Smith supported Mills as he moved through the competition.
In the semi-finals, Mills faced another strong Irish opponent and national finalist.
He showed remarkable speed, knocking down his opponent in the third round and winning the bout with another unanimous decision.
This victory secured his spot in the final.
In the final, Mills faced a tall and experienced Irish opponent, a multiple gold medal winner.
Mills' strength and power were evident from the first 30 seconds of the fight.
He kept his opponent under constant pressure, delivering heavy combinations and earning a standing eight count for his opponent in the second round.
Once again, he won the final bout by unanimous decision, receiving a gold medal for his efforts.
Crewkerne Boxing Club expressed its pride in all three boxers.
A spokesperson said: "As a club we couldn't be prouder of our lads, and with many more tournaments in the pipeline and many other boxers developing, the future looks bright for Crewkerne Boxing Club."
Mills' success at the Wexford Box Cup adds to his impressive list of achievements.
He has had 54 bouts, winning 46.
While he is also a national champion, Great Britain bronze medalist, three-time regional champion, and has won eight international and eight national gold medals.
He has also represented England.
The club also extended its gratitude to the local businesses that helped fund travel and accommodation for the tournament.
The spokesperson added: "Your generosity helps us to provide invaluable experiences for our boxers."
The club is looking forward to more competitions and the development of its other boxers.
