British Amateur Boxing Thread

We've been asked to do a north west amateur magazine next which would be the next logical move for us anyway. Were in talks now to sort it out but we'll probably need some investors to come on board so we can hire more staff as the north east magazine is hard enough with only two of us.

Hopefully we can build it up by the end of this season as I'd love to get a national mag out in time for the olympics.

 

a good start would be to sign up to the warrior boxing websites forum, you'll be able to browse the threads and you'll sharp work out who the top boxers are and what they have achieved etc as well as the young upcoming lads.

heres the GB team site
http://www.gbboxing.org.uk/

The AIBA site
http://www.aiba.org/

and the ABAE website
http://www.abae.co.uk/aba/

they will keep you updated on championships and internationals, they can be a little slow to update sometimes as well as miss some out but its the best you'll get at amateur unless you know all the people involved and can get updated through them.:good

 

Heres the schedule for the upcoming GB bouts
91kg: Simon Vallily v Samir El Mais (Canada) - last 32, 3rd October

I thought it might be a good idea to post some stats about the boxers from your area to watch out for (can do other areas as well if you want). i'll start:

Name: Henry Thomas
Age: 18
Weight: 60kg/lightweight
Record:W60 L6
Category: Senior (1st season)
Achievements: Youth commonwealth games gold medalist, Junior ABA champion, 2x Boys club champion, American Golden Gloves champion (only Brit to win it), 2x schoolboy, 1x golden belt (minors championship), England international.
Other: Expect him to turn pro soon, there was rumor's he was going to turn over this summer but he is going to box in the senior abas this season. If he does well I expect to see him in the pro ranks late 2012/early 2013.
