It was a sweet turn of events for 1 LANCS, who were bitterly disappointed to lose the 2023 final to 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment.

The highlight of the night was the powerful performance from Kingsman Alfie Evans who beat Private Robbie Chapman by a technical knock-out.

In the eighth bout of the night, a controversial moment came when Kingsman Kiniviliams Rokotagane looked to have won by TKO but was found to have punched after the referee had stopped the fight so was disqualified to give 1 R YORKS their first win of the night.

Lance Corporal Lloyd Kinnersley also won the last fight of the night for 1 R YORKS by split decision.
