Good luck to our friend and supporter Ekow Essuman at the #WardleyDubois undercard in Manchester on May 9th.
It’s another belt up for grabs when he fights Jack Rafferty for the WBA Continental title.
Rafferty will have a lot of local support, so get up support him if you can.

62 years ago today, Muhammad Ali (then Cassius Clay) defeated Sonny Liston to become the heavyweight champion of the world at 22 years old 👏

Today, it was announced that Ali's gift of inscribed boxing gloves to President Barack Obama, will now be put on display at the Obama Presidential Center Museum later this year in June.

We can't wait to see Giant, the new film about Naseem Hamed's career and relationship with Brendan Ingle in Sheffield.
Bendigo tried to develop boxing in Sheffield 140 years before Ingle, with less success though.

“I’ve had 17 stitches. I truly never believed anybody could do what he did to me. After the fight I had a couple of Cokes and then looked in the mirror. I said “God Almighty!!” I didn’t know fighters could look like this. That Marvin Hagler is an artist in there!!” - Tony Sibson
