Barn Boxing Club have hailed medal winner Fred Hannaway after his win at the Scottish Novice Championship.Opponent Jamie Hurshaw withdrew from the fight and granted Hannaway the win after Barn’s boxer steamrolled his way into the 2005 (Y05 80kg) bout with some high-quality performances.Coach Martyn Hetherston says it was no surprise to see his fighter’s opponent pull out of the reckoning after a number of convincing displays ahead of the meeting.He said: “It was different class from Fred and it’s great news.
