Tyers’ win saw him follow in the footsteps of Colliston Edwards who last year won a national title boxing out of Doncaster BA in Wheatley.
Edwards was crowned England Boxing Senior Novice champion at 56kg in November.
Club secretary John Sheppard said: “We’ve been going a few years now and for a small club in Doncaster we’re punching above our weight, pardon the expression.
