Despite having their season cut short due to coronavirus, the boxers at Harrogate Amateur Boxing Club are looking forward to getting back in the ring.

A Harrogate based community boxing club says it is excited to get back in the ring after over three months out.

Harrogate Amateur Boxing Club is a voluntary group which caters for all ages and abilities. In the last year the team of boxers has won 8 out of 11 of its fights until lockdown cut the season short.

Since then, the boxers have kept their fitness up by doing home workouts and have recently moved training outdoors in small groups. However, on July 25 the club will be able to open its gym doors again.

Jacob Millar boxes for the club and won the Youth Yorkshire Challenge back in November. He told The Stray Ferret that he is looking forward to getting back into training.

He said:

"Training during lockdown has been okay, it's more the motivation that has been lacking because there's so little to look forward to. It will be great to get back to the gym and continue training."




Normally the club runs sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from beginners to 'active boxers.' Head coach Ben Smith told The Stray Ferret:

"Our aim is to incorporate discipline in a fun learning environment where young people can enjoy themselves and learn how to take care of themselves in and out of the ring."
