Littlehampton host a bumper boxing night

Littlehampton Amateur Boxing Club brought a bumper night of amateur boxing action, with 13 evenly-matched bouts, in the second instalment of the club’s annual boxing event last month.

Littlehampton head coach Steve Bailey was delighted with how the evening went and said: “We’re all really happy with how it went and grateful to everyone who helped make the show run so smoothly.

“It’s always good to get the lads on and watch all the hard work they put in at the gym pay off. All the fights were evenly matched, so it was fantastic to see some happy spectators also, which should set us in good stead for some more shows in the future.”
