Clubs Benefit from Equipment Legacy of World Boxing Championships 

A number of England Boxing affiliated clubs have received a welcome boost with deliveries of Sting-branded boxing equipment, continuing the legacy of the successful World Boxing Championships held in Liverpool earlier this year. 

In partnership with Liverpool City Council, Brabners, Sting, UK Sport and GB Boxing, England Boxing has continued the event’s social impact programme, ensuring that communities across the city continue to benefit from the prestigious tournament long after the final bell. 

In total, 36 clubs have been awarded new equipment to help support their training and development work: 

• 3 clubs received brand-new boxing rings 

• 7 clubs were given bag rigs 

• 26 clubs received competition glove and headguard equipment pack

Each club received one type of equipment (i.e. a club did not receive a ring and an equipment pack), ensuring that as many organisations as possible could share in the legacy. 

Meanwhile, remaining gloves and headguards have been donated to the Merseyside and Cheshire region, where they’ll be put to good use at regional shows and championships throughout the upcoming competition season. 

Louise Vidor, England Boxing’s Former Club & Community Manager (North) said: “After the Championships, we invited clubs to apply for equipment and worked to ensure it reached those who needed it most. Now, we’re rolling out a range of funded courses and new opportunities to further help clubs grow and thrive. And we’re not stopping there, we’ll keep working with communities across the country to help even more people step through the doors of their local boxing clubs and experience everything our sport has to offer.” 

The initiative builds on England Boxing’s commitment to ensuring that major events deliver a lasting, positive impact on grassroots boxing, helping clubs to continue changing lives in their local communities.
