Top-class boxing tournament in Locarno - A celebration of Swiss boxing

Dear boxing fans,

last weekend, Ticino became a hotspot for boxing enthusiasts when the Locarno Boxing Club hosted a national boxing tournament. Fighters from all over Switzerland - from Geneva to Chur, from Basel to Zurich and Winterthur - gathered to put their skills to the test in thrilling duels.

Exciting fights and outstanding performances

The tournament, which took place under the excellent direction of Americo Fernandes Vieira, offered an impressive competition in various weight classes and experience levels. Spectators were treated to some thrilling finals that showcased the talents of our boxers.

Junior Mia Hess and Aurelia Kessler won the semi-bantamweight category, with Kessler dominating from the start and winning the fight on points. In the women's elite bantam category, reigning Swiss champion Chris Soares proved her class and prevailed against Anais Pfaff.

There were also thrilling fights in the junior classes, such as Artem Fedorenko's victory in the half-middleweight category and Alessandro Pons, who impressed in the middleweight category. Loris Vona also deserves special mention for his technically superior victory over Gregory Veil and his defence of the welterweight title.

Another highlight was the premature victory of Stéphane Rollier in the light heavyweight division, who thrilled the spectators with his impressive performance.

Awards and honours

The event was not only a success for the fighters, but also for the Locarno Boxing Club, which was honoured as the best team. Congratulations to Loris Vona as best junior boxer, Chris Soares as best female boxer and Yanis Medina as best elite boxer! Last but not least, the unofficial title of "Coach of Hearts" went to Americo Fernandes Vieira for his tireless commitment.
