Sparta ABC coach Matt Lenton has heaped praise on prodigy Eryk Ciureja after the youngster eased to yet another victory last weekend.
The 15-year-old turned in another commanding performance to triumph in his headline fight at a show in Scunthorpe, a display which Lenton believes was the finest of Ciureja’s blossoming career.
“Eryk boxed sublimely with devastating counter-punching and set-piece moves,” he said.
“He dominated all three rounds and was a deserved winner.
“I’ve travelled all over with Eryk and that was the best I’ve seen him fight in his career.”
