BASINGSTOKE boxers claimed two gold and one silver medal at the 2015 Haringey Box Cup, held at London's Alexandra Palace.

Will Nimako and Bryce Goodridge both won gold medals at the event, which attracted more than 400 boxers from across Europe, with Jacob Gabriel having to settle for silver after finding himself on the wrong end of a split decision.

Fighting in the development 64kg light-welterweight category, Nimako drew Ireland's Daragh Moore in the quarter-finals.

Moore looked to attack but Nimako knocked him down by a hard shot and forced the Irishman to take two standing counts before taking a unanimous decision.

In the last four, he faced Vasile Nedelcu from Stonebridge, but again the Basingstoke fighter was too strong, forcing another standing count on his way to a points win.

Jordan Swain was his opponent in the final, but Nimako was too strong, claiming his second gold at the event on a unanimous decision after forcing another standing count.

Bryce Goodridge, a Three Nations gold medalist last month, was fighting at light-heavyweight and met Islington's Reece Shagourie in the semi-finals.

It was a convincing win for Goodridge, who won a unanimous decision to reach the final, where he was due to face Monkstown's Steven Ward, who has competed for Ireland at the Commonwealth Games.

Unfortunately, the final didn't happen as Ward withdrew after picking up a cut in his semi-final, giving Goodridge a walkover and the gold medal.

Fighting at 64kg elite light-welterweight, Gabrial faced Repton's Michael McCarthy in the semi-finals.

Gabriel started fast against his more experienced opponent, throwing classy combinations, and kept the pace up for the three rounds to earn a unanimous decision from the judges.

The final was against Norway's Hadi Srour, an experienced international who defeated the world number eight in his previous tournament.

Srour had the best of the first round, catching Gabriel with counter-punches as he tried too hard to score, but the Basingstoke fighter settled down in the second round and started to have more success, though he had points deducted for ducking.

He improved again in the third round, catching Srour with good shots, but the deduction proved costly as the Norwegian won gold on a split decision.
