Eddie Large and Charlie Eagling Secure Prestigious Titles in Thrilling Yorkshire Showdown

Two young boxers from Harrogate’s H Hour Boxing Club are making waves in the Yorkshire boxing scene after securing major titles at a high-profile event on Friday 30th May 2025. Held at Ripon Bowling Club and co-hosted by Ripon Boxing Club and H Hour, the event brought together clubs from across the region — including Whitby, Sheffield, and Northallerton — in a night of top-tier amateur boxing.

Eddie Large, 16, from Scotton Knaresborough, won the Junior Under 75kg title after a unanimous decision victory, showcasing technical skill, composure, and determination. His teammate, Charlie Eagling, 17, from Harrogate, clinched the Yorkshire Youth Development Under 57kg title in another dominant performance.

“We are absolutely thrilled with Eddie’s success,” said his father, Keith Large. “It’s not just about winning — it’s about the dedication and character Eddie has shown throughout his boxing journey.”
