RAF Lossiemouth serviceman and Elgin Amateur Boxing Club star Arran Devine defeats Army opponent to claim UK Armed Forces title
Air force and army punched it out for a British boxing title.
RAF Lossiemouth serviceman Arran Devine was to emerge victorious as he clinched the UK Armed Forces 71kg Championship belt.
The Elgin Amateur Boxing Club star travelled to RAF Honington for the final against the Army’s number one boxer Marc Thomson.
It proved to be a bout where neither boxer gave less than 100 per cent.
The first round was close with Thomson trying to get physical and force the pace, but Devine matched him punch for punch.
Round two saw the Moray man get in his rhythm and using his jab to set up thumping punches to the body.
Going into the last and with the pride of both services at stake, Devine picked up the pace and even though he tried to battle back, his Army rival was falling short with his attacks.
In the end the RAF Lossie and Scottish elite champion took the belt on a unanimous decision, as Devine was declared champion.
