Also congratulations to our own Mickey Steeds (pictured) who boxed Radcliffe Green on Friday night, forcing a retirement after the fourth round. Mickey boxes again on July 18th, and has secured a shot at the British Cruiserweight title in September.

Our own Mickey Steeds fights Radcliffe Green in a Cruiserweight contest over 8 x 3 minute rounds at The Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth this Friday, 13th June. Top of the bill is Tony Oakey (British Light Heavyweight Champion) V Dean Francis (Commonwealth Light Heavyweight Champion) plus a very decent undercard.

Tickets are £35 Open or £75 Ringside and are available from the club. We will also be organising a minibus, leaving the club about 5pm. Please drop me a mail if you would like me to reserve you a ticket.

Mananged the 100 rounds, just, and we raised £754 for the Pre-School. Special thanks to all the ladies from the Pre-School who helped out on the day.

On the 3rd of May we will be having an Open Day to celebrate opening the new club extension. This will give us a second Boxing Ring, and improved Cardio and Weights areas. Mickey Steeds will also be joining the club on that date as a full-time Personal Trainer.

The open day will run from 8am to 6pm. From 9am to 1:16pm I will be doing a sponsored Spar-athon. This will involve boxing 100 rounds of 2 minute duration with a 30 second break between each round. We will have a core team of boxers doing the rounds with me, but all club members are welcome to join in, whether you just want to jump in for one round or stay and try and pick me off late!

There will also be a Barbie running, beers, Tea and Coffee etc. and plenty of activities for the kids. We are doing the Open Day in conjunction with South Moreton Pre-School and all proceeds from the day will go to their appeal for funds to build a new play area.

Should be a real fun day out.

There are a number of other great fights on the bill. Tickets are £80 Ringside or £40 Standard. A minibus will be leaving the club at 5:30pm that day, so if you want a ticket let me know.

Also, as part of his preparations, Mickey will be training here next Thursday and Friday (10th and 11th). A great chance to come and watch the pros training and pick up tips, and Mickey is also avaliable for 1-2-1 sessions. If you want to book in let me know.
