A new sponsorship boost has allowed Lochaber Phoenix Boxing Club to buy a new set of punch bags which will improve young boxers’ training.
The club, which has a thriving junior and senior section competing at regional, national and international levels, found that the cheaper punch bags they had to buy due to financial constraints were not only wearing out quickly due to continual use, but many were just too short for the youngest boxers to use.
