Northwest Amateur Boxing Club

We’re absolutely delighted to announce that Gemmells Van Sales will be sponsoring Northwest Boxing Club again this season! 🥊

We had a fantastic 2025/2026 season, and the support we received from our sponsors played a massive part in that success.

Sponsorship allows us to keep our gym equipment up to date, keep membership costs low and provide a clean, safe and well-equipped environment for everyone to train in.

Having a quality training environment helps our boxers train to their full potential, while also giving them the opportunity to develop confidence, discipline and valuable life experiences along the way.

A massive thank you to Jim and Shannon (the real boss!) for the continued faith and support they have in our club. It really is appreciated.

If you’re looking for a van, get yourself along to Gemmell Van Sales on Holmquarry Road, Kilmarnock and support a local business that supports local sport. 👍🥊

Team Northwest 🖤💛

Great to have Aaron Sarwar back in the gym tonight, proudly showing his club mates the European Championship Bronze Medal he won in Serbia last week. 🥉🇷🇸

A fantastic achievement and one the whole club is very proud of. Well done, Aaron! 👏🥊

Aaron had a great tournament winning three bouts against top opposition from Poland, England and Ukraine. Forcing 2 standing counts and a stoppage on his journey to the semi-finals.

Aaron becomes the first Scottish boxer since Sam Hickey in 2018 to medal at the European Under-19 (Youth) Championships, and very possibly the first boxer from Kilmarnock to ever medal at the youth European Championships.

You’ve made your family, your club, your town & your country very proud. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Aaron will return home from the European Under-19 Championships with a Bronze medal.

Losing out on points to the cagey and unorthodox Kristian Jubani from Ireland in their 50kg Flyweight Semi-Final in Loznica, Serbia.

It has been a great tournament from Aaron, after winning three bouts against opposition from Poland, England and Ukraine.

Aaron becomes the first Scottish boxer since Sam Hickey in 2018 to medal at the European Under-19 (Youth) Championships.

Good luck Aaron Sarwar we’re all behind you 🖤💛🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

SCOTLAND’S Aaron Sarwar will aim to reach the Finals of the European Under-19 Championships later today.

The Northwest boxer will face Ireland’s Kristian Jubani at approximately 4:30pm this afternoon in the 50kg Flyweight Semi-Finals.

The Scot had had a fantastic tournament in the Serbian city of Loznica so far, winning three contests against opposition from Poland, England and Ukraine.

That has already ensured he will become the first Scot since Sam Hickey in 2018 to medal at the event, but he will have eyes on becoming our first Gold medallist at the competition since Featherweight Scott Harrison triumphed in Siofok, Hungary in 1995.

However, he faces a tough task against reigning European U17 champion Jubani from Ireland, who also triumphed at the Four Nations Championships in Motherwell in June.

European Under-19 Championships, Thursday 20th August Schedule;

50kg Flyweight Semi-Final - Aaron Sarwar (SCO) vs Kristian Jubani (IRL). Approximately 4:30pm.
