OLYMPIC junior champion Tony Hill finished his boxing season in style by adding the Four Nations British middleweight title to the English ABA crown he won in May.

The Lordshill fighter is regarded by many experts as Britain's leading young prospect and he eased to victory in a tournament involving the best from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

The finals of the tournament were held at the Everton Park Sports Centre in Liverpool, where he was matched against the giant 6ft 5in Irish champion Jeremy O'Mahonney in the semi-final.

But boxing beautifully behind his jab, 17-year-old Hill, pictured above, comfortably controlled the fight and forced a standing eight count in the second round.

He also displayed a water-tight defence, with the judges only recording one scoring punch in favour of his opponent, en route to a clear-cut points victory.

The final then saw him matched against the dangerous Welsh champion Damon Filmer.

Obviously wary of Hill's knockout power, Filmer kept his distance and only occasionally attempted to swarm in close.

The tactic worked well and frustrated Hill, with the scores tied at 7-7 with just 20 seconds of the contest left to box.

But the apprentice bricklayer then showed true Championship quality to finish with a devastating flurry of punches to take a clear decision on the judges' scorecards.

Hill, who boxes out of the Freemantle-based Golden Ring club, will now take a few weeks off before his attention turns to winning next season's National Association of Boys' Clubs Championship. It is the one title that has so far eluded him throughout his junior amateur career.

Head coach Stuart Gill said: "Tony boxed very well in the first fight. He made his opponent miss, counter punched and looked the best boxer on show at any weight.

"The final was a bit messy, he was an awkward opponent, but Tony still found a way to get the job done. What with the Olympics last summer, he has been training solid for almost two years, so it's important for him to have a bit of rest now."

Hill is also a three-times national schoolboy champion.
