Graham Earl : The Boxing Trainer

I live in Luton and have been following this.

He had an open gym to "audition" fighters from around the country and has taken in guys at different weights. Someone else is putting up the money but he runs everything else. He has moved the gym recently. Every now and then there will be a local advert for a show usually with an area title on the card. Havent been myself.

 

Some decent young fighters there, definitley a british champion among his bunch.

 

Best of luck to him but I don't think he'll last as a promotor, too much competition and not enough fish. He may find a decent enough niche as a trainer

There was a rumour going around at the time of the Khan fight that he was BNP member. Any truth to it?

 

Not that I'm aware of. Dont know too much about the guy as a person or his local history but he doesn't seem to be the type to me.

 

Same here. I hate it when these sorts of things get thrown around without any sound sources.

 

Earl was a very good fighter,he beat some excellent lads in his prime and i wish him all the best as a promoter/trainer. PS one of the very few guys who stayed for the agreed time when sparring Scott Harrison

 

Heard gd things about him as a trainer and he was a good fighter but as a manager and a promoter he ain't very good he works very closely with Goodwin promotions!! Who put alot of shows on at York hall!!

 

It's not actually that far from city centre it's a cracking gym small but got everything it needs inside!! For swimming and all cardio work there's a massive gym 2 mins away with everything in!!
