    Every neighbourhood in London needs clubs like this. What a massive difference it would make to the lives of young Londoners in their thousands.

    I’m 55 and I got so fit last year whilst away from home training at Merstham boxing club. 5 days a week. Best condition of my life, just training like a boxer. No fighting or sparring. Discipline in training and eating. You body will respond. Even at 55.

    In 6 months or so since this documentary was filmed the Islington Boxing Club has changed so much for the better. If anybody was to pay a visit to the gym now you would not think that this is the same gym as featured in the video. Recently it has had an extension put in place in the downstairs gym and the club has been painted/decorated in the club colours of red & white. This is only the start from Team Islington, more is to come!!!!

    I boxed for Islington boys around 1982/84....that's wen the club was behind the lady Owens pub....
    Ronnie Goddard was one of the trainers...
    I suffered from bullying at school and where I lived.
    within six month I was knocking the bully's out...in a skilled and disciplined way..ha.ha

    Always one who talks rubbish and does not know a thing about boxing! We got boxers who have represented in the commonwealth games and we have ABA champions in the gym. We got boxers who represented england many times, the list can go on and on! From your statement it shows you dont have a clue about boxing or boxing gyms, think before you speak!
