VIDEO:Former boxer Michael Watson visits Elm Park Boxing Club.

On Monday 24 July, former boxer Michael Watson visited Essex Ringside Boxing Club. The visit was organised by Sukh and Honey from the award winning restaurant Tandoori Lounge in Hornchurch to help raise awareness of all the work the former boxer is doing across the UK and to promote the upcoming exhibition fight in October.

Honey told the Havering Daily: “It was a real pleasure to see the excitement on everyone’s face to have had The Force himself at the club!”.

The club on Elm Park Avenue opened two years ago and runs classes from the ages of 4 to 70 years old. It is a fantastic club that encourages youngsters into the world of sport.

Darren from Essex Ringside Boxing told the Havering Daily: “We had the honour of having the boxing legend Michael Watson at our gym on Monday where all the members had the opportunity to meet him. He is a true inspiration to everyone.

“Members of our gym come from many different backgrounds and together we help all those who want to do boxing. This is a great way to develop confidence and turn your life around.”

Michael Watson raises money for many charities such as Dream Factory, and as the people’s champion he hopes to be an inspiration to many others. He is a very inspirational man who contiunes to help so many in need.

Well done to Honey and Sukh for arranging this visit by Michael to our local community.
