Boxing: Young Scott is best of British

Jun 18 2009 by Eric MacKinnon, West Lothian Courier

SCOTT Forrest is the latest high quality boxing prodigy to hop off the Fauldhouse Boxing Club production line.

The 14-year-old has followed in the footsteps of the likes of retired professional Colin ‘Peely’ McNeil and Youth Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Robbie McKee who both won British titles.

Forrest was already the Scottish champ before adding the British title to his ever-growing ring CV last weekend.

And in the process of having his arm raised in victory the teenager also handed a first ever defeat to his highly rated opponent in the final.

Forrest comfortably won his semi final to tee up a winner takes all final bout against undefeated English boxer Steed Woodall.

He will go on to represent the UK in international combat next and showcases the blossoming talent in Fauldhouse Boxing Club.
