Jarrod Banks wins New Zealand Boxing Titles

HBHS Year 12 student Jarrod Banks, pictured right, has continued to win titles at national level since he won his first fight in 2012. Recently, he won the New Zealand Junior 75kg Amateur title after moving up a weight division, which he can add to his North Island Championship gold in the Under 65kg category, and his Golden Gloves and Central North Island titles which he won in 2013. Next up for Jarrod is a tournament in Christchurch on Saturday 15 March, followed by another tournament in Queenstown on Saturday 12 April. We will keep you posted on Jarrod's progress, and we wish him the best of luck in his upcoming bouts. Fellow HBHS student and McNabney's Gym member Niko Nicholson is also making pleasing progress, havinig won gold in the Under 48kg division alongside Jarrod at the Central North Island Championships in 2013. We will follow these two fighters with interest as they continue to pursue their goals at national level and beyond, and we wish them every success.
