As excitement builds in the boxing community, young talent Cooper O’Connell prepares to make a significant impact at the Youth World Championships in Colorado next week. Hailing from Brisbane, Cooper has already established himself as a formidable competitor, holding the title of the current 65kg Australian Boxing Champion.

Each match was a testament to his hard work and relentless pursuit of excellence, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting championship experience. In preparation for the high-stakes competition, Cooper recently traveled to Germany, where he faced a series of challenging bouts—three fights in under a week.

The experience gained from these matches is invaluable, providing Cooper with the confidence and adaptation needed for success on the world stage.
Training under the watchful eye of Gareth Williams and the team at The Boxing Shop in Brisbane, Cooper has access to top-notch facilities and expert guidance.
