Punch perfect Kyle celebrates being chosen for Team GB Olympic Programme

Oldham fighter Kyle Tullin

The conveyor belt of Oldham Boxing continues to produce some top talent.

Oldham Boxing and Personal Development Centre fighter Kyle Tullin has been selected for the Team GB Olympic Programme.

And what is even more remarkable about this achievement is firstly the fact that Kyle has had only 21 contests, which OBPDC coach's believe is a record.

Secondly he only returned to boxing last January after nearly two years away from the sport.

Kyle now joins the programme after passing an arduous assessment process at the start of a four-year cycle ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Kyle joins a number of other boxers from Oldham Boxing and Personal Development Centre who have gained this honour.

He now will be based at the EIS in Sheffield. 

Kyle, who has been trained by Eric Noi since he was a teenager, says he is over the moon with his selection and aims to make the town of Oldham proud of his future achievements.
