Newspaper launches 'Boxing against Bullying' campaign by Ian McNeilly Feb 5th 2008

All of us who know boxing are already well aware of this - the sport has a huge amount of potential to be a force for social good. The latest indicator that the general public are beginning to see the light is the launch of a campaign today by the Sheffield Star newspaper called 'Boxing against Bullying'. The initiative - which will see boxers and trainers not just offering to teach troubled youngsters the sport but also acting as 'mentors' - is backed by the NSPCC, former Sports Minister and president of the ABA Richard Caborn and popular Sheffield trainer Glyn Rhodes.  It goes without saying that Britishboxing.net lends our full support. For more details and to show support, take a minute to visit the campaign by clicking the link below: http://www.thestar.co.uk/boxing
