amateur BOXING CLUB
T
itchfield Amateur Boxing Club is based at The Recreation Ground on Mill Lane and they are a terrific example
of a well-run community establishment that provides males and females from the ages of nine to forty with an
opportunity to get involved in the sport. They are affiliated to England Boxing and AIBA.
For the most part they are a
competitive club but do also
put on classes for members
that are looking to improve
their general fitness levels with
Non-Contact Boxing training.
A major part of the work
that they do relates to youth
development and although
participants cannot box until they
are eleven anyone younger can still
take part in a number of skill bouts.
The club provides anyone taking part
with all of the necessary equipment
except for handwraps and gumshields.
Members are expected to wear their own
sports shoes and clothing when they train.
They are always looking to progress further
and are determined to introduce weekly
boxing training sessions for disabled people
once they receive the guidelines from National
governing Body England Boxing. This
promises to be another exciting development
for Titchfield and it will be interesting to see
how it is able to progress.
One of the key figures at the club is Louis
Stamp who initially joined as a schoolboy
before returning in a coaching role. He also
takes care of many of the club’s projects and
