British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force faced off in Inter Services Boxing Championships and one team got dominated

The tournament took place over one evening and several weight categories.

The British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force took part in the 2025 Inter Services Boxing Championships - with one team ultimately collecting a single point.

The Championships is an amateur event, held by the Combined Services Boxing Association (CSBA).

One boxer each from the three Armed Forces are selected to enter the Championships in weight category, with a Team Championships event also taking place.

In preparation for the Team Championships, the British Army selection took part in a training camp with GB Boxing.

The event, on March 26, was held at RAF Honington, technically making the RAF the 'home' team.

And they won the featherweight category, before the Royal Navy took the point in fight number two in the only female bout of the evening.

The Army then took fight number three to go within one point of retaining the title that they won in 2024.

After several further bouts, Royal Marine Corporal Kyle Shaw-Tullin - slated as a potential Team GB Olympic competitor in LA 2028 - then took on Sapper Marley Devitt of the Army.

And Shaw-Tullin recorded what was described as a 'comfortable' unanimous decision victory.

The final fight took place between the Army's Private Kieran Cooper, who defeated Royal Marine Dominik Zieba via unanimous decision to win the Team Championships for his team of servicemen and women.

They finished on five points ahead of the RAF, while the Royal Marines only picked up one point but did not field enough boxers to compete for the title.

Although ultimately on the losing team, Shaw-Tullin has been tipped for big things, having recently won a gold medal while representing England at the Grand Prix in December.

That was his second gold medal overall in the past 12 months after success at the Three Nations event in Scotland back in June.

And speaking ahead of the Championships, head coach Perry Officer Nick McGarry stated that he is 'sure' that Shaw-Tullin will be involved in even bigger events over the coming years.

He told Forces News: "His rise has been rapid. He's met every expectation. Every goal he's set to achieve, he's achieved it.

"He's on GB now, and I'm sure that he'll be involved in the Commonwealth Games in the next few years and hopefully the Olympics in 2028."
