The Northern Fight Star Gym has received £500 from the Better Homes Better Lives fund run by Dale & Valley Homes to help buy a permanent boxing ring for the club which is open four days a week.
Peter said: “I used to box at another club but we couldn’t leave anything out because it was a community hall so we have come to Eldon Lane and sorted this place out.”
Some club members have many trophies and championships to their names while others have only just started training. The club is sending members all over the country to compete in competitions.
Peter added: “We get to go places. In the last few months we have been to Manchester, Aycliffe, and we are back to Manchester on August 13th. We have a big fight coming up with 13 fighters.”
Colin Stockwell, chairman of Dale & Valley Homes, said: “Eldon Lane and places like it really need people with energy and enthusiasm who are willing to put their time into the community.
“We, and our partners at Dunelm and Gentoo, are pleased to support such a successful project and we hope it continues to grow and attract more young people.”
