Alex Chirila claims NABGC Midlands boxing title in Birmingham
Alex Chirila of Ashfield Spartans Boxing Academy has added another title to his growing list of accolades, securing the 80kg NABGC Midlands Championship in Birmingham on Sunday, 3rd November.
In a thrilling showdown against Jeffrey Simmons of Junction Boxing Club at Acocks Green Boxing Club, Chirila’s skill and determination shone through, with many spectators calling it the fight of the day.
This latest win adds to an impressive year for Chirila, who has already claimed several championship titles in 2024.

His goal of turning professional is now closer than ever, as he continues to build on an exceptional year with Ashfield Spartans Boxing Academy.
