Tommy Lee and Jawad Janjua staged an entertaining scrap
THE long and the short of it is, Leamington teenager Tommy Lee kicked off his 2025 campaign with a fine win.
And that’s despite the Fitzpatrick’s fighter giving away a head and shoulders amount of height to his opponent at Newdigate Sports and Social Club, Bedworth, on Sunday.
It was a tall order for 14-year-old Tommy against Team Shoebox’s Jawad Janjua, but he rose to the occasion.
In the opening moments, Lee tried to find a way past Janjua’s long reach – and by the end of the session had solved the puzzle.
Tommy fought with assurance in the second and began to increase his work-rate, pulling ahead to take a unanimous decision.
It was a pleasing, competitive bout and Janjua certainly had his moments.
Coach Joe Donnelly said: “I was impressed with Tommy Lee’s performance. He faced a huge task and stood up to it. I’m looking forward to watching his development.”
