Mayor Attends Titan Fitness Boxing Academy Event

On Saturday 2nd March the Town Mayor, Cllr Tracey Smith, was invited by Titan Fitness Boxing Academy to attend their first event, Boxingbola.

Todd Tompkins, a super middleweight boxer, set up Titan Fitness Boxing Academy in Rushden 11 years ago for people of all abilities and ages.

The aim of Boxingbola is to provide free boxing gloves and information to young people, to focus on getting kids off the streets and into the gym and to encourage a reduction in knife crime.

Titan Fitness can only do this with the support of the local community and businesses and they were honestly overwhelmed with the support from both at this event.

Over the last few weeks pop-up events have been held at Asda, Rushden Lakes and Higham Ferrers Market, and many businesses selling raffle tickets and providing prizes, which has raised part of the first phase of the funding for this event.

Todd is continuing with his initiatives for this ongoing project in providing free boxing gloves, free pop-up sessions, workshops and bleed kits.

What an unbelievable turn out for their first ever giveaway and what a great way to kick start their new charity!

If any businesses would like to help in the future please visit Boxingbola Facebook page to get involved.
