South Moreton Boxing Club

Congratulations to our own Roman Ship who recorded his third
consecutive first round stoppage at XFC:3 on their May 31st show.
Roman was facing a more experienced opponent in Nikky Kent in this
Heavyweight Pro MMA fight, but finished his opponent early with a
straight right-hand strike.

Just to say a huge thanks to all who attended or boxed on Rumble VII. We had a fantastic evening of boxing, thrills and spills galore, and what really made the evening special was being supported by The Rifles. It was a privilege to have five members of 4Rifles boxing team in attendance. Three of the five will never box again after the injuries sustained in Afghanistan. One chap, Cpl Ferguson, came to us from Headley Court, where he is recuperating after losing both legs and an eye in a landmine explosion. He was on top form all night, and chatting to many of the crowd. This really brings home what these guys are going through.

We managed to raise over £7,000 on the night, and with other donations and sponsorship we are hoping to get to £10,000. This is a really tall order, but if anyone wants to contribute you can do that, and also read Simon Hills gripping account of facing me in The Ring at http://www.justgiving.com/Rumble-for-The-Rifles

It was a very special night, and thanks once again to you all. Now looking forward to Rumble VIII…!!!
