British boxers earned three silver medals at the European Boxing Championships but missed out on gold in all categories. Chantelle Reid and Abdul Burton both fell short in their respective finals, losing 5-0 to strong opponents. Reid, who previously won silver at the Commonwealth Games, faced Turkey's Busenaz Surmeneli in the light-middleweight final. Although she expressed disappointment at not winning gold, she praised Surmeneli's skill and said she was proud of her silver medal performance. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Abdul Burton lost to Russia's Viacheslav Rogozin in the men's super-bantamweight category. It was Burton's first major competition, and he viewed the silver as a positive step in his boxing career. In the final match of the day, Damar Thomas, a 21-year-old Commonwealth Games gold medalist, narrowly lost 3-2 to Russia's David Surov in the men's super-heavyweight division. The close contest highlighted the high level of competition at the championships. Great Britain fielded 15 boxers in total and managed to win five medals overall. In addition to the three silvers, Callum Makin and Dimeji Shittu claimed bronze medals on Thursday. The European Boxing Championships brought together top athletes from across the continent, with each weight category featuring fierce competition. While British boxers faced tough challenges, their performances reflected both the strength and potential of the country's boxing talent. The event also saw Irish boxer Lisa O'Rourke triumph in the women's 80kg final, securing gold for Ireland in that category. Despite the absence of gold medals, the British team's overall performance was seen as a solid showing. Coaches and athletes alike emphasized the value of the experience, particularly for younger boxers like Burton, who gained valuable exposure on the international stage. The results underscore the competitive nature of European boxing and set the stage for future competitions where British athletes may aim to secure gold.
