Royal Marines boxer Kyle Shaw-Tullin selected to join England senior squad

Royal Marine boxer Kyle Shaw-Tullin has been selected to join the England Boxing senior squad for the 2024-25 season.

Mne Shaw-Tullin is one of 12 boxers from across England to have been chosen after impressing selectors in rigorous assessments in May.

Additionally, Army boxer Corporal Terri-Leigh Stuart has been named to the England Development Squad, offering opportunities for skill enhancement through various domestic camps.

• RAF Aces upset British Army Blades to win Inter Services Ice Hockey title
• German Bundeswehr record football double over UK Armed Forces

Getting onto the England squad is regarded as a stepping stone for boxers to hone their boxing skills and gain international experience, with the hope of one day making the step to compete for Great Britain at major championships, such as the Olympic Games.

Mne Shaw-Tullin joined the Royal Navy boxing team in January 2024, making an immediate impact by defeating junior national champion Joe Hodgkinson in his first bout for the Navy.

He entered the UK Armed Forces championships soon after, defeating Army opponent Cody Pearson in the 80kg category.

In April, he competed at 80kg at the English Championships, winning in the light-heavyweight category to be crowned national champion.

His rapid rise through the boxing ranks caught the attention of England Boxing, leading to his selection for the England squad.

Mne Shaw-Tullin is now set to compete in the Three Nations Boxing Championships in Edinburgh from 21-23 June.
