A TEENAGER has fought his way through to the Amateur Boxing Association's semi-finals.
To win through, Chris Wallace had to defeat the 2003 ABA Champion which he did in style.
A pupil at Shotton Hall School, in Peterlee, 15-year-old Chris was delighted at his success in the competition.
He is now eagerly awaiting the semi-final which will take place soon.
Head of PE at Shotton Hall, Brian Old, described Chris as an excellent boxer.
He said: "This is a fantastic achievement and it is wonderful to think that Chris might even become the ABA champion.
"He trains very hard and he deserves his success.''
