Archive for This forum is for serving or retired firefighters from the LFB. This is the place to have a moan, have a laugh and maybe even get some proper answers to some time honoured and new questions
Easy in the knowledge that this will not find favour in the organisation, I'm doing it anyhow. This event is arranged completely outside the organisation. This is a private sporting event, organised by me, that may involve some members of the LFB, but they will in no way represent the LFB in any way.
It is proposed to put on a boxing show in April involving members of Battersea Fire Station. Training is underway and Will Hibbert, Stuart McDonald, Dean Berry and Wole Adesemoye are all stepping through the ropes. It is envisaged that there will be a number of other 3 x 2 minute bouts at other weights.
The location and exact date are yet to be confirmed. But sometime in April at either The Fight Factory in Purley, City Boxer in Blackfriars or Clinton McKenzie's gym in Herne Hill are likely venues.
Bouts will be under ABA rules, properly conducted, refereed and scored, but will be outside ABA affiliation. Therefore this is officially 3 rounds of sparring and will not be publicly promoted within the London Fire Brigade.
All are invited, there will be a nominal charge to cover the cost of the gym hire and to donate to the fighters' chosen charity. Look out for the fight posters soon.
