Ryan dominated the bout from the first bell by boxing on his back foot and landing heavy blows to his opponent’s body and head.

He took the win by unanimous decision after Lumsden was given a standing eight count in the third and final round.

Ryan, who is coached by Kelly Law and Colin Boyle, previously beat Kai Stafford from Kingston upon Hull in the quarter finals.

That contest took place in Bridlington on 18 September.

There are currently 116 active boxing clubs across Yorkshire with 1,814 members registered for the 2022/2023 season.
