Horsham Amateur Boxing Club Show

Horsham boxing club in West Sussex celebrated a period of growth with its annual show at the Holbrook Club in North Heath last Saturday, 22nd November. What made it the most special event yet was that, despite being a tiny gym in comparison to some of it’s nearby rivals such as Crawley and Brighton and Hove, 17 home fighters entertained a capacity crowd of nearly 500 making it the biggest show yet.

Notable bouts included first round stoppage wins for middleweight 14 year old Aaron Tarratt in his first bout and welterweight Paul Clarke. Horshams female boxer Samantha McCelland notched up her third win of 5 by dominating Hayes’s Sangita Birdi and 7 other wins made up a majority success for the up and coming club.  Pictured are the Horsham Boxing Club team in sponsor Boxfit’s t-shirts ahead of the event.

Horsham coach Dan Purchase said “I’m so proud of all the Horsham boxers, each one gave their all and helped make this our best show to date”.
