Walker, no offence mate about my previous comments. We all have different opinions right

Anyway, I don't know who you are, but one point I'd like to raise if you have any influence or stroke within the W.A.B.A is the Home Nations championships being held late summer, out of season.
Last year they were held in July and most of the home championships were completed months before then. It isn't fair on the boxers who competed in a certain weight category to have to hold their weight for so long. Remember a lot of the schoolboys and youths are growing lads and are naturally getting bigger.
If they boxed at say, 60kg in February, by July they may have no chance of getting down to that weight again to compete in the British championships simply because they've naturally grown, as you do during your adolescent teen years.

Just a valid point worth raising that I feel the W.A.B.A should give some consideration to.

Also, I think they need to reintroduce a light-middleweight category. The 69kg-75kg is a big gap.

I'll pass this on to the Schools and Youth Committee.
