World heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medallist Anthony Joshua OBE has given substantial financial backing to the Amateur National boxing federations of England, Wales and Scotland.
The money will be distributed directly to clubs in most need of support through the National federations, with an agreement in place that all funding is ring-fenced for the clubs only.
The move comes in an effort to help support the sport that gave him so much, survive the toughest period in its history. Amateur clubs up and down the country have been forced to close their doors during the pandemic with little hope on the horizon.
