Career
Tommy Stubbs grew up in Oldham and started playing Jiu Jitsu as a child . But he soon switched to boxing , when he was seven years old. He became a member of the ABC Northside Oldham . His main coaches so far have been Jim Davison and Joe Pennington. At the age of eleven or twelve he was also active in dance and has been nicknamed the "Tango Kid" ever since. The first successes of Tommy Stubbs, who cultivated an unconventional style in the ring, came in 2008.
In 2008, just 18 years old, with a points win in the final over Ben Fowl, he became English paper weight champion (weight class up to 48 kg), but only finished third in the same weight class at the 2008 British Junior Championships because he defeated Robert in the semi-finals Wright of Scotland lost on points. In 2008 he also represented England for the first time at international championships, the Commonwealth Youth Games in Pune / India . He came there to a demolition victory in the 4th round over Ricardo Blackman, Barbados , but lost in the quarterfinals to Nano Singh from India on points (5:17) and finished fifth.
In 2009, Tommy Stubbs was again the English paperweight champion with a points win in the final battle over Darren Langley (13: 8). Then he also won the paper weight championships of the European Union in Odense / Denmark . In the final fight he won over the top Polish boxer Łukasz Maszczyk by clear points (15: 3). He was then used at the World Championships that year in Chicago , but there already lost his first fight against Ronald Seruga from Uganda on points (2:11), with which he was eliminated and had to be satisfied with 17th place.
In 2010 he was again English paper weight champion with a points win over Ben Fowl (7: 3). At the European Championships in Moscow he first won over Marius Vysniauskas from Lithuania on points (9: 3), but then lost in the quarter-finals to Paddy Barnes from Ireland on points (1: 9) and finished fifth. At the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi , Tommy Stubbs started flying for the first time . He lost there after a big fight in the round of 16 against Andrew Selby from Wales (1: 1+) just on points and therefore only reached ninth place. He was able to take revenge against the same boxer in November 2010 at the Championships of Great Britain in Manchester . There he managed to beat Selby in the final just on points (10: 9).
In 2011, Tommy Stubbs started in three important international tournaments, none of which he was able to win, but finished with very good placements. He was not used at the European Boxing Championships in Ankara in 2011 . Tommy Stubbs' next big goal is likely to be to compete in the London 2012 Olympics . His toughest opponent to qualify for these games will be the 2011 European champion Andrew Selby.
