In a remarkable display of grit and determination, Folkestone’s Marné Owen has emerged victorious at the England Boxing National Junior Championships 2025, claiming the Cadet U66kg title.

Representing TKO Folkestone, Marné travelled to Wigan to compete against some of the finest young talent in the country, and her performance in the final was nothing short of extraordinary.

In the championship bout, Marné faced an opponent who had triple the experience. Adding to the pressure, her opponent was the Tri-Nations Champion from last season.

However, Marné displayed a combination of tactical brilliance and exceptional pressure, ultimately securing the unanimous points win and claiming the coveted national title.

This victory marks a significant milestone in Marné’s boxing career, propelling her to the top of the national ranks.

As the number 1 ranked Cadet boxer in the U66kg category in England, Marné’s future in the sport is incredibly promising. If she continues to build on her skills and development, she could soon find herself representing England in various European competitions, potentially earning a spot on the path to Great Britain’s elite boxing squad.

Marné’s achievement is a testament to her hard work, dedication, and the support she receives from her club, TKO Folkestone.
