Handing over the reins: Sergeant Liam Jones takes over as Army boxing's new head coach

The British Army Boxing Association have announced that Sergeant Liam Jones will take charge of the team as head coach.

He replaces Sergeant Chez Nihell, who oversaw a win over the Bahrain Royal Guard in November before the RAF won their first Inter Services title in 54 years in March.

Sgt Jones represents the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and has supported the Army Boxing Team as an Assistant Coach in recent years.

Last year, he took on the role of head coach for the Army's development team and worked with some of the best up-and-coming fighters in the service.

He's also represented the Army in the ring and coached the REME team.

Sgt Nihell's final duties as head coach see him take an Army team to the USA for a British Army Invasion battle against a New York Select team on 3 July.
