Reacting in a post on social media, Mne Shaw-Tullin said: "This one meant so much and there's nothing better than the hard work and sacrifices paying off and seeing the progress."

The Royal Marine boxer, who is an integral member of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines boxing teams, made an extraordinary debut for England in 2024, before he was invited to join the GB Boxing team later that year. 

He hopes to compete at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow – with a wider goal of competing at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
