I have seen a few of the fights on Sky Bravo, and from what I see it looks good fun, well organised and well supported.
Am I right in saying all the people are from the same gym?
The gym itself is the Ring I think, I would imagine it is a fitness gym styled in the boxing gym format or am I wrong?
The equipment looks second to none, all the top Title bags and mitts, I`ve never been to a proffesional gym so well equiped.
Has anybody here given it a go? and is it only for people who have had no amateur or pro fights before, because the ages range from what I`ve seen early twenty`s to late fifties.
Good fun anyway.
White collar boxing
I'm the resident white collar boxer here.
Coincidentally i went to Cityboxers (the gym from the Bravo shows) for the first time last night.
The main trainer there, Mark Burford is a good guy and seems to know his stuff. I think the tv show said he was a pro but his career was cut short by injury. His name isn't in the Boxrec database though.
There are a few ex amateurs there apparently but mostly it's guys who want to get very fit, learn to box and test themselves. Like me.
I don't think it's encouraged as an alternative to a ordinary gym. From what i was shown last night it's more about learning the craft than getting a knackering workout.
The gym is new and very well kitted out if a little cramped. If anyone wants any more info on it let me know.
