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).
