THREE Coffs Coast boxers have produced terrific performances during a recent fight night on the Gold Coast.
Coffs Harbour Boxing Club fighters Jaxon Anthony, Jonah Engelhardt, and Dustin Putera all won by knockout on the fight card in Queensland.
Their head coach Matt Watt praised their performances in the ring.
“Jaxon Anthony made his debut and knocked his opponent out in 45 seconds,” he said.
“Jonah Engelhardt also made his debut and won by referee stoppage at the end of the second round.
“His opponent was given a standing eight count after taking heavy shots.
“He answered the count, but the referee called it off regardless.
“Dustin Putera had his third fight, which was called off in the first round after his opponent signalled to the referee that he did not wish to continue.
“This was a very proud moment for the club and myself as the coach.”
The proud coach explained what made them such promising fighters.
“They all have an extraordinary work ethic,” he said.
“They show up nearly every day and endure training regiments designed to push them beyond their limits.
“Since hard work is the norm for these boys, they can put a high pace and heavy pressure on their opponents.
“If their opponents have not prepared for our level of intensity, they crumble under the pressure.”
Coffs Harbour Boxing Club fighters are having a banner year, with a combined record of 10 wins (seven by knockout), two losses, and one draw.
