He made it look very easy without being arrogant and cocky.“He received a massive reception but the scoring astounded everybody as it was a lot easier.“He has been a level above throughout the championships and my phone hasn’t stopped ringing with coaches from around the Midlands calling to pass on their congratulations.” 

The success was a major coup for Cleary’s ABC who, in their first year in the championships, have secured five Warwickshire titles, four Midland titles and one national title.

Orthodox win for Sean

THE X FACTOR duo whose audition ended in a punch up have appeared on television again - this time wearing boxing gloves.

Abbey Johnstone, who lives in Lillington, became famous after striking her best friend Lisa Parker on the ITV show last month.
The pair are now friends again and have been filmed having lessons in fighting and self-defence at Cleary’s Boxing Gym in Leamington.


Abbey said: “Lisa and I are friends again and we took part in the latest filming to show that we aren’t as bad as we were made out to be at our audition.
“Since X Factor I’ve learnt to deal with my anger a lot better, like not to punch someone on TV.
“To be honest though I’ll be happy when the whole thing is over because our lives have gone crazy since the show.”

Edwin Cleary, owner of the gym, said: “It was fun watching the Xtra Factor team film and it was a good experience for some of my staff who will appear on the footage with the girls.”

Boxing: 'Suga' Sean Greenhill is 'heading for the top'

TEENAGE hot-shot 'Suga' Sean Greenhill this weekend targets the ABA Novice championship boosted by a performance that left his coach predicting he's heading for the top.
The all-action featherweight from Cleary's ABC is entered in the tournament that starts in Bedworth on Sunday after an early exit from the NACYP championships that left him rueing the luck of the draw.
Greenhill was paired with James Melvin (Hall Green) in his opening contest in Hinckley - and that represented a massive step up in class for the six-fight novice. Coach Edwin Cleary said: "Melvin has won more national titles than Sean has had fights."
Greenhill still spent much of the four-round contest on the attack and according to Cleary "was definitely the stronger of the two," but Melvin's block-and-counter tactics were enough to wrap up a majority points win.
Cleary added: "Sean knows he can compete with the best now. Melvin knew a bit too much, but with a few more fights under his belt, Sean can definitely beat him.
"I expect Sean's boxing to go up a level now."
Greenhill is joined in the ABA Novice championships by clubmates Ben Daley (Class A, 60kgs), Mike Cole (Class A, 63.5kgs), Gary Taylor (Class A, 67kgs) and Jamie Hamblin (Class A, 81kgs).

No disgrace in defeat for Greenfield

TALENTED Cleary's ABC teenager Sean Greenfield surrendered his unbeaten record despite another impressive performance in the first round of the NACYP championships in Coventry on Sunday.
Greenfield, 18, was drawn against the highly experienced defending champion and England international James Melvin (Hall Green) in the opening round and he lost for the first time in eight fights by a majority verdict.
Greenfield, who was making his seasonal bow, more than matched his illustrious opponent throughout the four-round bout but was just edged out on points.
Coach Edwin Cleary said:"Melvin has won more national titles than Sean has had fights but it was a fantastic display and there is absolutely no disgrace in losing to the best in the country.
"It wasn't Sean's best performance but I was really pleased with the way he conducted himself and he has proved he can compete with the best now."
Greenfield now turns his attention to the ABA Novice championships which get under way at Bedworth this Sunday.
He will be joined by Cleary's ABC team-mates Ben Daley, Mike Cole, Gary Taylor and Jamie Hamlin.
