The issues facing women and girls who box was the main focus of the latest 'Chase Your Future' event held at Bermondsey Boxing Gym. The initiative, a partnerships between Maverick Stars Trust and Boxxer, has already proved hugely successful wherever it has been staged, and the latest instalment was no exception. Participants on the day have all previously come through a Maverick Stars programme aimed at empowering young women through boxing. All took part in a question and answer session hosted by presenter Ali Drew with a panel including pro fighters Caroline Dubois and Fran Hennessy, along with Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom and England Boxing coach Rachel Bower. Following the Q&A, all were treated to a boxing masterclass with former world champion and Maverick ambassador Anthony Crolla.
Maverick Stars Trust and Boxxer teamed up once again to deliver a hugely successful adaptive boxing session in Salford. On this occasion, the tables were turned with boxers and professional coaches being put through their paces by the staff and participants from the Kronik Warrior Adaptive Boxing Academy - the country's first and only adaptive boxing academy affiliated with England Boxing.
Young people in Manchester were treated to a two-week summer holiday project, delivered by Olympic hopefuls Delicious Orie and Conner Tudsbury. Based at Moss Side Fire Station Boxing Club, the pair ran sessions aimed at giving an insight into what it takes to become a champion. The initiative covered boxing training, strength and conditioning and nutritional advie. Super-heavyweight Delicious and Conner, who competes at light-heavy, are part of the GB Boxing team. It's been a huge year for 'DJ' who has won both Commonwealth and European gold medals, and qualified for the Paris Olympics in 2024. Conner is working at following his friend to the Games next year.
Maverick Stars and Boxxer joined forces once again to provide people of all ages and ability a day they'll never forget. The 'Chase Your Future' initiative visited the Feltham Community Boxing Club in south west London. Maverick Stars ambassador Anthony Crolla led the training session for young fighters, keep-fitters and wheelchair boxers. At the end of the session, friend of Maverick Stars Spencer Oliver hosted a Q&A panel with Anthony, heavyweight prospect Frazer Clarke and rising star Adam Azim.
The latest 'Chase Your Future' initiative rolled into south west London ahead of a Friday fight night at the iconic York Hall. Maverick Stars Trust and Boxxer joined forces once again to provide a fantastic boxing workshop for the huge turnout at Feltham Community Boxing Club. Although injured and subsequently off the bill, top talent Adam Azim was on hand to help train the different groups in attendance. He was joined by heavyweight prospect Frazer Clarke who fights Mariusz Wach on the Sky Sports show this weekend. As ever, Maverick ambassador Anthony Crolla put everyone through their paces during the very enjoyable event.
Maverick Stars and Boxxer joined forces once again to deliver an evening a group of young people in Bournemouth will never forget. Local hero Chris Billam-Smith - who beat Lawrence Okolie to claim the WBO cruiserweight title on Saturday night - took part in the event which comprised a Q&A panel and a boxing workshop. Under the guidance of Maverick ambassador and world champ-turned-coach Anthony Crolla, the session in the South Coast sunshine did not disappoint.
Maverick Stars ambassadors Delicious Orie and Conner Tudsbury put Salford schoolchildren through their paces during a special initiative aimed at getting young people more active. The GB boxing stars visited three schools in Walkden, giving motivational talks to the students along with delivering training sessions.
A Bolton teenager is pursuing his boxing dreams as a fighter and trainer - all thanks to a Maverick Stars initiative aimed at supporting young people at risk of crime and anti-social behaviour. 'Sting Like a Bee' has enabled hundreds of disadvantaged youths nationwide to get off the streets, get fit, healthy, learn new skills and follow their dreams. Josh Williams, 16, is an excellent example of the project working to full effect. Josh, who has autism and ADHD, has thrived since joining S.L.A.B at Elite Boxing Academy in Bolton.

Boxing royalty joined forces with the world of music and celebrity when a Salford gym opened its doors to its community.

Also on hand as roving reporters - Maverick Stars ambassador Jamie Moore and Maverick founder Charlotte Gilley.
