First win for Luton’s Reynolds

A YOUNG boxing starlet has had his first win under Graham Earl’s tutelage last week, writes Mark Wood.

Fifteen-year-old welterweight Jordan Reynolds, from Farley Hill has been helping out at the Lutonian’s House of Champions gym as part of his GCSEs.

Earl has been massively impressed with what he has seen, and Reynolds recorded his first victory for Stevenage ABC recently with a TKO against Lewis Calvert from North Herts ABC.

He said: “Jordan does a bit of work for me and helps in the gym.

“He is learning and training at the same time and helping me out.

“I’ve got him all carded up and he is boxing out of Stevenage ABC.

“Within a month he has been carded and had his first fight and looked very good.

“I think he has got his eyes set on turning professional.

“I want him to do his apprenticeship as an amateur. He did a bit of thai-boxing at one stage and is very strong.

“In the last seven months it’s just clicked and I think he could be the next big thing out of Luton in a few years time.”
