ENGLAND national coach Mick Driscoll made a special visit to Harwich Boxing Club.

He briefed members on rule changes and how to adapt styles for opponents as a result.

Further to this, he instructed a technical clinic, culminating in a strenuous circuit session to finish a memorable evening.

Head coach Martin Webb said: “I spent time with Mick at the European Schoolboy Championships, in Russia, in November, while we were both on England duty.

“We got chatting about his desire to reach out and connect with grass-roots clubs in the country.

“As a result, he came down to us and delivered a masterclass, which was well-received by our boxers.

“A number of them told me afterwards how inspirational the visit was and what an excellent learning experience it had been.”
