A Kingston boxing school is celebrating its third year of training everyone from school boy champions to unbeaten professionals.

As 2 Kings Boxing School celebrates its anniversary, head coach Ben Young, Luke Moran, Billy Day and Mabs Luzolo continue to turn the lives of young people around through the sport of boxing.

Tony “Macaroni” Ayinde won the Queensbury novice title and the regional title to become regional welterweight champion and Harry Karzis won the London Amateur Boxing Association title.

Local pupil Harvey Dossett, 14, won the school boy and National Novice championship despite breaking his thumb in the bout.

Each week the coaches train local young men and women, some as young as five, to become disciplined, committed athletes who then go on to become national champions.

One of the club’s biggest successes is that of Danny Darko, the club turned Daniel Egbunike’s life around.

Danny went from a life spent going in and out of prison to a professional boxer with a very promising career.

He began by winning Queensbury novice champion, then Novice National champion and became the National ABA champion.

His career then took off and he turned professional and now sports a 2-0 record, both won by knockout.

A non-profit organisation, 2 Kings Boxing Club welcomes all new members.

Training takes place on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday with classes for juniors from 5pm to 6.30pm and adult boxers from 6.30pm onwards.
