BLESSED Trinity Roman Catholic College’s Bram Richmond wants to be a big hit in the boxing world.
The Year Seven student attends Sandygate Boxing Club and has so far been limited to skills event.
But the 11-year-old has high hopes he will be able to start competing soon for wins in the ring.
“I train three times a week,” said Bram, who has been boxing around a year.
“I have had a couple of skills fights so far, which are three rounds of 90 seconds, where there are no winners and you have to have three of these before your fights count.
“I have another fight in around six weeks and then I hope I can take it further.
“Boxing has given me a focus, I enjoy it and I want to be a boxer.”
The club has a proud tradition of producing talented boxers Coach Nick Tucker, who also coaches in schools including Blessed Trinity, said: “Bram is an exceptional talent. He has great potential to achieve regional and national titles.
“His main attributes are his fitness levels, his height and his commitment.”
