Military boxers left disappointed in National Amateur Championship semi-finals

Royal Marine boxer Kyle Shaw-Tullin has made it through to the 80kg final of the English Boxing National Amateur Championships.

Shaw-Tullin defeated Albion's Nabil Abdullahi on points to book his place in the final in Derby next weekend. 

However, the other five military boxers competing in the semi-final were left disappointed.  

• Military boxers set for heavy bouts at English championship quarter-finals

• Army v Navy amateur boxing night thrills raucous crowd at HMS Sultan

The reigning 63kg champion Terri-Leigh Stuart will not get the chance to defend her title after losing her semi-final bout via decision.

Royal Navy star Billie Matthews also lost her bout on a points decision, ending what would've been an Army vs Navy bout between Stuart and Matthews in the final.

Army boxer Chelsea Tiller's bout ended with a Technical Knockout (TKO) while RAF pair Frankie Lyall and Carys Mainwaring were also bumped out of the tournament after losing their semi-final bouts.
