Boxers given boost to compete in Portugal

Clayton Boxing Club received the funds from HML Recycling, which the club will use to support the club’s trip to Portugal for the prestigious Portimão Box Cup.

The international event, taking place from June 5 to 8, welcomes boxers of all classes, and Clayton Boxing Club will be sending a team of talented athletes to compete.

The competition will feature seven boxers from the club, ranging from complete novices to intermediate and open-class fighters.

The club has both male and female athletes, all of whom have been training hard in preparation.

“We are so grateful to HML Recycling for their generous donation, which is helping to cover some of the costs associated with this incredible opportunity,” said John Brindle, Head Coach at Clayton Boxing Club.
