International Competition
Yash & Dylan x England Boxing
Since bursting onto the scene in 2023, Yashua Flemming and Dylan Gibson have quickly become shining stars within the England Boxing system — the heartbeat of amateur boxing in England. Their journey from local gyms to national championships is a testament to their relentless dedication, discipline, and raw talent.
Starting out at grassroots club shows, Yash and Dylan seized every opportunity England Boxing offered to prove themselves. Multiple national titles at the prestigious England Boxing National Championships soon followed, with both athletes standing tall as gold medallists in their divisions — establishing themselves as two of the country’s best young boxers.
In 2023, Yashua’s hard work propelled him onto the international stage, representing Team England at the EUBC Schools European Championships. Facing Europe’s fiercest young fighters, Yashua didn’t just compete — he dominated, bringing home a gold medal and the coveted title of Best Boxer of the Tournament. With this victory, he cemented his reputation as Europe’s top young talents.
Building on this momentum, Dylan joined the elite ranks in 2025, stepping onto the England Boxing performance pathway alongside Yashua. Selected to box at the GB Three Nations Championships, Dylan also delivered, winning gold the first time he wore the national shirt and is now aiming for selection in the Junior European Championships in December 2025.
Being part of England Boxing’s talent pathway provides Yash and Dylan with invaluable opportunities: national training camps, world-class coaching, and the chance to compete at home nations tournaments, continental championships, and even World or Olympic events.
For these two fighters, wearing the England vest is about more than medals and glory. It’s a symbol of pride, responsibility, and a promise to represent their gyms, their families, and their community with honour.
