Braunstone teenager Paige Murney has proved she's England's No 1.
The 17-year-old's victory in the final of the women's Junior ABA championship, in Cannock, should lead to a call-up to the national squad.
Charlie Southern (Portsmouth) went into their final in Class 5 at 66kg as the red-hot favourite.
She was targeting back-to-back Junior ABA titles – but Murney outpointed her to become Leicester Unity's first national champion.
Coach Ajmal Butt said: "Paige should get an England call-up now.
"Southern was England's No.1 – and Paige handed her a boxing lesson."
Butt did his homework before the final and Murney stuck to the game plan to build a points lead with her long-range boxing.
Southern went into the last round needing a knock-out – but Murney stood her ground, landed the cleaner blows in the exchanges and forced her highly-rated opponent on to the back foot.
Murney has now won all five of her bouts since joining Leicester Unity, and her title triumph completes a terrific year for the Beaumont Leys-based club.
Leon Woodstock was controversially beaten in the final of the ABA Novice championship earlier this month and Brian Madaweni won Midlands ABA Novice honours.
"Paige walked into a gym full of blokes 10 months ago and has shown great character," said Butt.
"She works so hard because she wants to be the best.
"Paige has a terrific work ethic and temperament and is an example to everyone else in the gym."
