It was great to cover an evening of Boxing at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London. A black tie event in a grand venue full of chandlers mirror and white marble. The charity event for Ellenor Lions Hospice was organised by Habara Marketing & Events and sponsored by FS Contracting Ltd, a design & new build contractor for residential and commercial projects based out of London.
With eleven bouts scheduled the fighting went on into the late hours and it was action packed to say the least. From Junior to heavy weight it was a great show. The boxers hailed from several Boxing clubs including Nemesis ABC, Skills, Moneyfields, ST. Marys, Hockley, Bexhill and the Army.
The next fight night is scheduled for June 2017 at The Grosvenor in London. To get involved call Habara Marketing & Events on 0208 295 3399 or email Philippa.
