A not-for-profit boxing club dedicated to supporting children and teenagers from disadvantaged backgrounds has opened in Liphook.

The organisers of the Stable Amateur Boxing Club believe it will make “a real difference in the lives of local young people”.

Sessions are led by professional boxers Gary Logan and Jack Castle - the latter of whom once notably defeated British super lightweight champion Darren Hamilton.

Jack said: “We are proud to offer high-quality training at an affordable cost - it works out as just £1.60 per session, or £20 per month, for three sessions a week.

“What sets us apart is not just our community focus, but also the calibre of our coaching team - our experience, discipline and mentorship will provide an invaluable influence for the young people who join us.

“Our mission is simple: to provide a safe, structured and inspiring environment where young people can build confidence, resilience and life skills through the discipline of boxing.”
