THE challenges are profound. The coronavirus lockdown has pushed clubs to the limits of their reserves. After the public health emergency a likely economic crash is looming and boxing, omitted from a government package for spectator sports, appears to be a forgotten sector. The sport’s social role can all too often be overlooked or discounted. But Empire Fighting Chance is a prime example of the positive effects of using the sport in communities. It can serve as a lesson, perhaps, for other clubs too. The club has grown into a large boxing charity.
