The 29-year-old from Grays has lost her place at British Boxing’s national training centre at Sheffield and so ruling her out for the Under-51kg category.

Boxing chiefs have indicated the decision was due to a lack of progress at the very elite level.

Nina, only took the sport up four years ago and was in the same weight category as the vastly experienced Nicola Adams.

Adams is a former world amateur double silver medallist and is current European gold medal holder.

YT understands that Smith still plans to compete in boxing’s world champs in China in May.

Hollie Martin Wood 18yrs under 54kg Class B came against the awkward Tania Viller from the TA Army Hollie stuck to the game plan but unfortunately it did not pay off this time against the feisty come forward boxer and Hollie was left chasing for points and had no option but to meet the TA Girl in the middle of the ring in an attempt to catch up on points. Hollie earned herself a bronze medal for her gutsy performance.

Valerian Spicer 31yrs under 57kg boxed the experienced Lucy Murphy from Finchley A.B.C and gave an outstanding performance of boxing beating the London Boxer by a score of 26/16. Spicer will now travel back up to Manchester on Sunday 18th December for the finals of the competition alongside club mate Jennifer Suarez 29yrs under 60kg who boxed against Portsmouth University’s strong boxer Joanne Barrett. Suarez won her bout by thg accurate landing of very heavy shots against her very tough opponent. Valerian Spicer will box Anna Mayne from Northside A.B.C and Jennifer Suarez will box Sandy Ryan from One Nation A.B.C in the finals.

Youngster Levi Lee 12 yrs under 48kg travelled out to Isle on of Man on November 19th to represent Essex in a boxing tournament of Essex V Isle of Man Lee came against the Isle of Man favourite M Rennie of Manx A.B.C. Lee beat the top class Isle of Man boxer making himself unbeaten now in eleven bouts.

Jack Healy 20yrs under 67 kg boxed on the Hornchurch and Elm Park Show on Friday 9th December at Dukes Hall Romford against H.E.P boxer Ricky Atreed. The bout was a special 3×3 minute bout in which both boys boxed at an extremely fast pace. The bout had the whole hall standing and received an outstanding ovation at the end from all whom spectated. Healy won the bout by a majority decision as he landed the more precise and very big shots. Both boxers gave their all and provided all in attendance with a spectacular display of amateur boxing. Healy received “Best Boxer Of The Night Award” for his performance.

Out of the 12 Essex boxers that competed on Sunday six progressed with wins into the next round and one step closer to the National Boys Club Boxing Championships. Michael Maloney (Chadwell St Mary ABC) won the Junior ABA title earlier in the year and has recently been shortlisted for the Sport Essex Young Sports Personality of the year award. Michael got the show under way by picking his shots and landing heavy blows to win the bout with an 18-4 points victory over Connor McKinnon (Woking).

Kieran Redding also progressed into the next round by beating Luke Law of Rosehill 20-9 on points with a strong jab before putting his opponent to the canvas. Kieran meets the talented Charlie Driscoll of West Ham in the next round. Unfortunately Kevin Reavell could not make it three out of three for Chadwell St Mary who came up against a really strong experienced boxer named Hayden Bulloch of Crawley but his coaches were really pleased with his performance and he proved he was worthy of a spot in the championships and this will just strengthen his chances for the future championships.

Joshua Olaware from Ormiston Park Academy and Michael Moloney from Gateway Academy are up for the Sports Essex prize which will be announced live on BBC Essex on Thursday November 17th.

They were both nominated by club members. Here are their nominations.

Joshua Olaware

“Joshua is an extremely talented athlete who was won four national medals, including two gold medals, in four separate events this year, earning him selection for the English Schools team at an indoor competition in Glasgow this December.

Nationally Joshua won the English Schools Intermediate Boys’ Octathlon Championships at Exeter on 17th & 18th September winning three of the eight individuals events (long jump, 100m hurdles and shot) and setting a new club record points total of 5200 points which ranks him number 1 in the UK this year.

By comparison that is almost on a par with Britain’s last great international combined event athlete Dean Macey who scored 5311 points at the same age.

In August at the England Athletics championships at Bedford Joshua won the long jump with a new personal best and club record of 7.20m, and at the same championships he also won a bronze medal in the 100m hurdles in another personal best & club record. Indoors last winter he won a silver medal at triple jump in the National Under 17 championships and was fourth in the 60m hurdles event.

At county & Regional Joshua won indoor titles at 60m hurdles & long jump, and followed up with county outdoor titles at 100m hurdles and long jump, and Essex Schools title at Triple Jump. Joshua is a potential Great Britain international athlete and winning this award would provide added incentive for him to work hard towards the next level of achievement at U20 (Junior Level).”

Michael Moloney

“I am nominating young Michael Moloney because I feel his personality deserves acknowledgement. Michael is a sixteen your old boy who demonstrates great maturity in our gym as well as in the field of amateur boxing. Michael has achieved so much in the time he has been a member of Chadwell St Mary A.B.C. He is a Schoolboy Champion, Three nations Champion and a junior A.B.A Champion. “Mikey” is a very well liked boy in the gym on the boxing circuit as well as in the local community.

Mikey is dedicated to the sport and trains very hard at every opportunity (including christmas day). Mikey is a great team member and helps everybody in the gym especially the youngsters, he is a brilliant mentor.

Mikey has also learnt to read and write through interaction with other members of the gym and by access of the boxing forum warrior. Mikey even travelled to New York with the Essex A.B.A. This is a massive achievement for such a young boy who comes from a very close family and is never far from his grandfather. Mikey is an absolute star and a very deservent nominee.”

Lee Window has announced that he will take part in a charity boxing contest at the Circus Tavern in December.

YT went up to the Spartans Boxing Club in Corringham to see Lee in training and find out more about the fight.

The ‘Heroes’ boxing night, which is being held at Liquid nightclub, Festival Leisure Park, Basildon, follows on from the first successful event organised by Lions Boxing and Fitness Gym, Chelmsford, in April. The ‘Cops V Robbers’ event raised a significant amount of money for St Francis Hospice.

The event also includes an Inter-Counties women’s Championship semi-final.

Smith came up against Anthony on Sunday 12th June at The Mansfield Civic Centre in Nottinghamshire.

This bout was extremely fast paced in every round and tested both of the top girls fitness. Anthony give it her all and did not stop coming forward but,
the more experienced Smith was able to pick her off with very strong combinations and the experience of the Chadwell Boxer was evident in every round
with the rounds being computer scored as 6-2 14-4 19-5 with the final score of 27-9.

Nina’s coaches Coach Chris Okoh and Scot Johnston were delighted in her performance and Head Coach Chris went on to say that Nina proved to be very
worthy of her spot on the GB Olympic squad by her outstanding performance shown in the margin of points against the very strong Nottinghamshire boxer.

If you would like to support Nina she will be boxing again in the Haringey Box Cup tournament held at The Great Hall, Alexandra Palace, Alexandra Palace Way
Wood Green, London N22 7AY held from Thurs 16th to Sun 19th June 2011.

and Hollie Martin-Wood 54kg.

John Wayne just lost out in a closely fought three round contest with Kevin McIntyre. Each judge scored it 29-28.

In the final, Yassine El Maachi beat former WBC World Champion Junior Witter to win the Prizefighter Welterweights II at York Hall, Bethnal Green.

The fight will take place on June 11th at the Liverpool Olympia. The winner may well get a crack at the winner between Derek Chisora and Tyson Fury.

John is busy sparring at the Rainham club but is confident after his last victory that he can continue to surprise and frustrate in equal measure.

YT will be popping down to see John next week.

The fight will be live on Sky.

Moloney 15years 57KG of Biggin Lane in Tilbury boxed against Jake “The Snake” James from Northside A.B.C Manchester on Sunday 22nd May at Passion Nightclub in Rochester Kent.

Chadwell St Mary coach Scot Johnston was as pleased as punch and said “Mikey’s very fast hands, ability to switch style, fast footwork and the fact that he stuck to the game plan paid off massively.

Mikey is a very talented, skillful and clever boxer who thinks in the ring which enabled him to confuse and out box the more experienced Northside boxer.

This is the second time that Maloney has came against James and the second time that he has beaten the top class Manchester boxer in prestigious competition finals.

Team C.S.M are also celebrating the fact that they now have three female boxers through to the semi finals of the female A.B.A’s to be held on the 29th May at the Harlow Stadium in Essex.

Schoolboy and Three Nations Champion Michael Maloney boxes Sunday 22nd May in the national Junior A.B.A finals held at Passion Nightclub in Rochester Kent.

Valerian Spicer 57kg boxes on Saturday 21st May in the quarter finals of the female A.B.A Championships to be held in Somerset. Female boxer Hollie Martin-Wood 54kg is boxing for Essex in Norway and hopefully, result permitting, both will box alongside Elite GB Female Boxer Nina Smith of Chadwell St Mary A.B.C in the semi finals of the female Championships to be held in Harlow on the 29th of May.

Nina Smith will be boxing Hannah Beharry of Edmington Eagles.

Maloney came up against the very feisty Rumbles Boxing Academy Kane Ball AKA “The Raging Bull “.

This bout the fourth of the day in Ring B had the crowds on their feet. Maloney dropped Ball in the first round with a fast combination of perfectly timed shots one of which hit right on the button to see Ball on the canvas.

The courageous Kent boxer Ball took the mandatory standing eight count and continued to give a very gutsy performance in the next two rounds of the semi-final bout against our local boxer.

Maloney proved to be too fast, sharp as well as too strong for the very gutsy Rumbles Academy boxer as he totally out classed his enthusiastic opponent with a display of talented boxing impressing the crowd by his natural ability to adapt smoothly his boxing stance from south paw to orthodox in what was a very fast paced bout.

Maloney meets Jake James of Northside ABC (Manchester) in the finals in two weeks time. This will be the second time the boxers have come head to head in a final as they boxed in the finals of the Schoolboy Championships last year with Maloney beating the very experienced Manchester Boxer. Mikey’s Chadwell St Mary coach Scot Johnston is by no means taking the preparation for the next bout against The very experienced Jake James of Manchester lightly but he said Maloney is on fire!

Unfortunately for Chadwell St Mary boxer Matt McCarthy 17yrs 67kg the decision did not go his way on the day and the Judges gave the bout in favor of Andrew Doe from Tommy’s Gym in Reading. McCarthy caught Doe in the second round with a straight right hand and Doe proved to have a very strong chin but McCarthy just was not able to pin down the very tricky Doe as he made use of the ring to escape the power of McCarthy’s shots.

The local boxing gym in Longhouse Road Chadwell St Mary is now also the host of five Essex Novice Championship boxers in Kieran Wright, Barney Moloney, Johnny Doherty,

Billy Wilson and Kevin Reavell as they all received winner certificates and badges at the Championships held at the Hutton Center in Brentwood.

The stars of the show were Kieran Wright 12yrs 32kg of Gateway Academy winner of the under 5 bout class. Kieran boxed superbly using a tight guard to secure himself a unanamous decision win over Dagenham ABC boxer Kerim Agius and George Hart 12yrs 38kg of Gable Hall School who drew the unlucky straw by boxing in the semi-final and not gaining a walk over like his team mates. Hart gave a gutsy performance but was beaten in the semi finals by the Chalvedon ABC boxer Tyler O’Flynn.

Youngster Levi Lee 12yrs 46kg was too experienced to be entered into the Championships and his club was hoping to be able to get him matched as a supporting bout on the same day. There is nobody to box Levi in Essex and Chadwell St Mary A.B.C are aware that they will have to start travelling further up North to match the very talented young boxer.

Both Chadwell St Mary A.B.C boxers secured their places in the semi finals when they boxed on Saturday 16th April in the quarter finals of Eastern Counties v Western Counties round of the

First to box in the Class 4 (1995) U57Kg was the very talented Michael Maloney 15years and 57kg from Biggin Lane in Tilbury.

Mikey boxed against Jake Smith of Paddy Jones A.B.C (Bristol). Maloney set the pace from the off and didn’t appear to need to get out of second gear
as he landed succession after succession of fast, accurate , powerful shots in each round leaving Smith desperately chasing him for points.

Maloney secured his win on a points decision of 22-10.

Mikey faces Kane Ball of Rumbles Academy Sittingbourne Kent in the next round.

Second to box in the Class 6 (1993) Under 67KG was the “mighty” Matt McCarthy 17years and 67kg from Tennyson Walk Tilbury.

McCarthy came against Kiere McKinnon of Bideford in Devon.

Matt was far too strong for his opponent and dominated all four rounds with his very powerful and fast jab putting Mckinnon on his back foot.

McCarthy secured his place in the semi finals with a points score of 18-7 although both Chadwell St Mary A.B.C coaches Scot Johnston and Jim Rafter felt the margin in points scored should of been wider they were very pleased at the results and of both of the Chadwell Boxers performances.

McCarthy comes against Andrew Doe from Tommy’s A.B.C Reading Berkshire in the next round of the championships the Semi-Finals.

First to box was 12 year old Gateway Academy schoolboy Levi Lee 44kg.

Lee traveled alongside his coach/uncle to box on the Golden Ring Open Show in Southampton.

Levi boxed against the strong Johnny Chicken from Golden Ring A.B.C for the second time. ( Lee secured a unanimous win on the last bout by out boxing and picking off the very strong brawler).

Chicken’s club had done their homework in preparation for the return bout and Chicken came flying at Lee in the first round enabling him to push
the Chadwell St Mary boxer onto the ropes with three successful hard and accurate body shots, Lee was saved by the bell.

After a display of great coaching/ prompting from his coach Scot Johnston at the end of the first round, Lee was then able to come back out for the second and third round and give the crowd an outstanding performance of controlled, clever and skilled boxing securing himself yet another unanimous win against the very strong lad from Southampton.

The other two wins came on the same night from the Brentwood Youth open show held at Keys Hall in Brentwood.

Chadwell St. Mary boxer George Hart 12 years 38.5kg gave a fine display of talented controlled boxing against the heavier Chalvedon boxer Nathan Lucas securing himself a majority points decision.

Kevin Reavell 15years 57kg boxed against George Wright of Southend A.B.C and also won by a majority decision.
