The club, which only recently celebrated its first anniversary is set to host an Ulster Select this weekend, Saturday, October 4, at the Waterside Theatre, with tickets now on sale priced at £5 or £8 pay-at-door on the evening.

One man who can’t wait for the gala show to get underway is coach Gary Martin.

“We are hoping to put on 10 bouts, we really can’t wait and we just want to put on a very special show,” he said.

“All different age groups, starting from 10-year-olds up to mid-30s and we are matching boxers from our club to compete against an Ulster Select squad.

“Our plan is to get them matched against local  boxers.”
