BOXING: Kaluza keeps up record

8:00am Friday 30th May 2008

Oxford Boxing Academy's teenage prospect Ben Kaluza continued his unblemished ring career with a fourth successive win in consecutive outings.

The 14 year-old Bicester bantamweight saw off previously unbeaten Levi Raymond inside a round at Cheshunt.

Raymond, who had stopped all his previous opponents, started arrogantly, but his failure to show any respect for his Oxfordshire rival proved to be a serious mistake.

Raymond dropped his guard and had his jaw rattled by a right hand over the top that prompted a standing count less than 20 seconds after the bell.

When hostilities resumed, Kaluza tore through with an unanswered six-punch cluster that had the Hertfordshire teenager struggling to remain upright and prompted a second standing count.

Sapped of all resistance, Raymond was propelled into the corner by another powerful barrage.

The referee did not bother with the formality of a third standing count as he waved it off and raised Kaluza's arm in triumph only 69 seconds into the bout.
