EUROPEAN Championship glory seems to just be the start for York boxer Luke Moore - who now has his sights set on the Olympics in 2028.

The 14-year-old claimed victory in all four of his matches across the competition to take home the Schoolboy 60kg title in Slovenia in August.

Even more remarkably, he did not drop a single round along the way.

Moore’s European title is his third in 2023, having won both the National Championships and the Three Nations earlier this year.

“I won the Nationals in May, the Tri-Nations in June and then I flew out to Slovenia and won the Europeans,” Moore told VIP Boxing Productions of his thoroughly successful 2023.

“That now makes me number one in Europe, Great Britain and England.”

He could not turn down the offer to be trained by his cousin, and when father Billy suggested that he first try the sport as a 10-year-old, he jumped at the chance.

“I started coming down to Henry’s Gym when I was little, and I’ve not been to any other gym", he recalled.

“My dad just asked me if I wanted to go try it and I went!"

 Luke has won 21 of the 28 bouts he has contested across his fledgling career, including each of his last 12.

The teenage talent already stands at just short of six feet, and counts Terence Crawford, currently ranked as the world’s best professional boxer, as his idol.

His next test will be March’s National Junior Championships, but Luke is casting his eyes further into the future.

“I’ve got the National Championships next in March,” he said.

“Then I’m looking to go to the Olympics in 2028, because that’s when I turn 19.

“After I win that, I’d love to go pro.”

Billy, a former boxer himself, is extremely proud of his son’s achievements.

“I’m very, very proud of him,” he enthused to The Press. “He’s won the Nationals, the Tri-Nationals and now this. He’s done everything that we could have asked of him.

“When I saw him receiving his medal, it was such a proud moment. I was overcome with emotion.

"Hopefully, we can now get the ball rolling with his career."
