Wallingford Pancake Race 2010

Box Fit PT — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 20:21:45 +0000

The club once again sponsored and organised the Wallingford Pancake race. We had a great event, the runners were cheered on by a crowd of over 200, and a special mention must go out to club member Viktor Kmec, who won the race in a nail biting final lap, and also managed to raise over £650 in sponsorship.

Overall we raised over £1000 for The Footsteps Foundation and much more for other local charities. If you want to see the BBC report on the event go to the link below, and watch out for that Darth Vader bloke…

Rumble VI Thanks

Box Fit PT — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:06:21 +0000

Big thanks to all who attended, or boxed at, Rumble VI this Saturday night. We had our biggest ever crowd,fantastic fights and a marvelous atmosphere. All the fights were hard fought and competitive, but big congratulations to Jamie “The Force” Cressey and Mark “The Power” Powell for winning the Fight of the Night award, especially in their first ever Rumble, and Don “Ding Dong” Marsh for lifting the best boxer award in his fifth Rumble.

Prizefighter at The Bear

Box Fit PT — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:41:48 +0000

The hugely popular Prizefighter Series continues on Friday the 2nd of October with a third installment of Heavyweights battling it out for a 32K prize on the night. For anyone not familiar with the format, eight fighters box-off against each other over 3 x 3 minute round bouts, so you get 7 fights and one eventual winner who must win three fights on the night. All the action takes place over 2 hours. You can get more info at www.theprizefighterseries.com.

This installment see’s some great domestic fighters in the mix, including British Champ Danny Williams, Audley Harrison and Scott Gammer, among them.

Although we all had a great time going up to the last Prizefighter event at the Excel in May, this time I’m suggesting a venue closer to home. The Bear (North Moreton, see www.bear-at-home.co.uk) have agreed to let us have the back room, and the big screen TV to watch the action on the night. We should be able to organise a bit of a sweep stake and have a good night watching the boxing.

All club members and friends are welcome, the more the merrier. I will be getting there at 7:30pm, boxing commences at 9pm. Should be a lot of fun.

We have added a new class into the weekly schedule. Roman will be teaching a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) class at 8pm on Mondays.

Rumble V Thanks

Box Fit PT — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:08:39 +0000

Many thanks to all who attended or took part in Rumble V on Saturday night. We had 9 fantastic fights, topped off by Nick “The Kiwi” Wills Capturing the vacant W.C.B.O. Cruserweight Title in a classic with Stuart “The Gunslinger” Wilson, and Tim “The Guv’nor” Absolom winning a close one with Jon “Legal Eagle” Alder to capture the W.C.B.O. Heavyweight Title.

It was a sweltering night, but the crowds still came, and our special guests Julius Francis and local M.P. Ed Vaizey gave us great support. All the receipts and tickets sales are yet to come in, but it looks like we raised a couple of thousand for Footsteps, which will take this years Charity donations for the club to over 5K, which is fantastic when things are pretty tough out there.

Rumble VI is on December 5th.
