OVERSEAS bouts later in the year are a target for Bendigo boxer Ryan Polglaise and trainer Lucas Allen.<\/p>\n
The 16-year-old boxer added a Golden Gloves victory to his record at last weekend’s Fisticuffs tournament on Bribie Island in Queensland.<\/p>\n
Polglaise weighed in at 80.9kg for the 81kg light heavyweight division for 15-17 years.<\/p>\n
“This was Ryan’s biggest fight and best performance so far,” Allen said of the young gun from Bendigo Fight Centre in Golden Square.<\/p>\n
“Ryan won every round against a tough opponent from Queensland to now be a Golden Gloves champion.”<\/p>\n
Polglaise’s record now stands at eight-nil and he has now won four amateur titles across the country.<\/p>\n
A brilliant year included winning the Australian Amateur Boxing League and Victorian Amateur Boxing League light heavyweight titles.<\/p>\n
“We are looking at a fight for Ryan in July,” said Allen.<\/p>\n
“Eyes are on some major international events and some of the biggest for youth boxing in the world at the end of the year.<\/p>\n
“Those tournaments are in England, Japan and Montenegro.<\/p>\n
“Ryan would do two at the most.”<\/p>\n
