Billericay Boxing - 2010 Training Update.
Billericay Boxing Club spent most of 2009 trialling different training dates & times, to try and find the best possible schedule that would benefit all of the up and coming boxers and also insure that the coaches had enough time to spend with the new & accomplished boxers alike.
We were lucky to have 2 newly qualified coaches and also 1 experienced female coach join us.
We as a club, have brought through some brilliant "home grown" schoolboy boxers that inside 2 seasons are now boxing at International level, so we are going to drive forward with plans to introduce our "Grass Roots Academy" training / fun sessions for youngsters from the age of 5 upwards.
We are also going to introduce a Ladies Boxing / Fitness session to keep up to date with the 2012 Olympic program. All details will be published soon, both on this website and in the local papers.

Saturday 19th Dec... Eastern Counties Match
Congratulations to Steve Wood, Martin George & Alfie Doran, all 3 boxed for the Eastern Counties Squad this evening v Southern Counties at Belhus Park, South Ockendon.Alfie Doran boxed in a support bout v Nick Tipler from Pitsea's Chalvedon Boxing Club. A very close bout between 2 very skillful boxers.
Martin George faced the England International David Chalk, who has only had 2 close loses on his record. 1 Loss was to the European Champion Archie Sharp ( who won 22 on the trot ) by 1 point & the other was to 3 Nations British Champion Albert Lee by countback. Martin boxed absolutely brilliantly and we thought had done enough to win, unfortunately 2 of the 3 judges gave the decision to Chalk, both by 1 point..! Showing just how close that fine line is between winning & losing can be. Chalk fron the Guildford club is 1 of 16 Schoolboys that Guildford are entering into the national championships. Martin won the trophy for the best bout of last season, however, this bout was far better than anything else from last season. A great performance, proving that a Billericay Boxer can compete at the very highest level.
Steve Wood fresh from his under 54kg National win and great recent home show performance had to step up a weight division this evening, when boxing the Southern Area under 57Kg Novice champion Joe Woods-Shaw from the very well schooled Woking boxing club. Wolfy was physically a lot smaller than his opponent but never looked at any stage in trouble, Wolfy stepped up his pace in the 3'rd round and landed time & time again with that looping right that had many 54kg lads backing up. Again, it was a very close decisison that could have gone either way. Boxing at this level, against Area champions is always going to be tough, after all, you don't get picked to represent your Region if you're just an average boxer.
Our 3 Lads all done well tonight, especially Martin & Stevie. who have firmly put the Billericay club on the map again. Thanks to all the supporters for travelling out in the bad weather / road conditions to cheer on their team-mates, The decisions sometimes, come second place to the performances, Well done lads, you make us proud..!

Billericay Boys Tour of Dublin Dec 2009.
The Billericay Squad, headed by tour captain Felix Doran landed on Irish soil on Thursday evening, We checked into the hotel in central Dublin and made off for some light refreshments.
On the Friday evening, we were transported by coach, along with the travelling Birmingham Irish Boxing club, to the Cellar Bar, Donagmede.
The venue & ring were both smaller than our lads have been used to before, but this was a real "grassroots" show that would show our lads just how tough they are in Ireland.
England was represented by Billericay & Birmingham, Ireland were well represented by The Famous Trinity boys & The very tough Crumlin Boxing Club, both from Dublin.
The Judges were represented by both countries as well, Denise Coe & Scott Lipton were able to judge bouts during the evening and gained valuable international experience that will help them further their own development.
There was plenty of support from England, notably Wolfy, Chris, Joe Giles, Paul Iles.
A special mention goes to young Luke & Dad Sean, who flew out to come and give the lads some extra support, Hopefully, luke will get this gesture repaid when he represents the club internationally in the future. Also, Jacqui who stepped in at the last minute to take Freddy.
Boxer's from both countries were lead into the ring for a parade, where the National anthems of both countries were played and were both received with great respect.

Boxer's from both countries were lead into the ring for a parade, where the National anthems of both countries were played and were both received with great respect.
The club was awarded with a very smart cup which will go up in a new cabinet in the gym soon.
Tour captain, Felix Doran was first into the ring, boxing the very skillful Alex Grange from Trinity, Felix was a joy to watch, putting in some moves that was straight out of the Billericay technical routines, a performance that showed the whole of Ireland why Felix was chosen as Captain for this tour.
Freddy Biggs was 2'nd into the ring against Jordan Maher from Trinity. Freddy started off very strong and forced an 8 count early on, Freddy was instructed to pull off the power, as we really wanted every boxer to get through 3 rounds for everyones enjoyment. Maher made up some lost ground but Freddy who was sitting back, landed some shots that left the Ref no choice but to stop the bout in round 2.
Jack Lipton was in great form, boxing long range and working hard on his feet against a classy opponent, young Josh McDonnell from Trinity. Jack was instructed to box very clean & tidy, which is exactly what he done. A very good bout to watch, both lads got a big cheers from the crowd. Jack won on Points and Josh got best trinity Boxer perfomance on the night, well deserved and a great display of Amateur Boxing.
James Burman met Trinity Boys Ian Garry, both lads seemed to have a similar style from the off, Garry just looked that bit sharper on the night. James was suffering from a cold, which we wasn't aware of until after the bout. The bout was pulled up in the last round. We would hope for a rematch on our Dinner Show in May when James is fully fit and well. James is a nice quiet kid and we all really felt for him.
Alfie Doran had a skills bout against Trinity's Thomas Butterfly, Alfie came in too heavy for a full bout, but the host's were very understanding and put on the bout as a Skills. Alfie looked very strong in the 1'st round, then was told to start moving more. Thomas started pushing on and Alfie used the ring and some tidy defensive skills to couter the attacks. Again, a very good performance from both lads.
Tommy Coe has been unwell lately coming back from flu and wasn't as fit as he has been on previous outings, however, the bout was made & on against Andrew Cushen from the home club. Cushen was a very strong / come forward style that had Tommy using all his abilty and boxing knowledge. Tommy fought back well and landed a cracking left hook in the 3'rd. A real crowd pleasing bout that had everyone screaming for more. Cushen took the result, with both lads giving it 100%.
Karl Davis was offered a skills bout at short notice against the unformidable Trinity Captain, Craig Bonney. I saw Craig box a few weeks back and was well aware of his record including 2 stoppages & 2 Knock-outs. An explosive and strong junior that will go on to become a big star in the future for sure. Craig was very well disciplined and laid off of the power, so that both lads could try out some new moves. A good bout for the boxing enthusiast to watch.
Luke Fowler was up against Jason Conroy from the Crumlin Boxing Club. Luke has been right on form lately, improving in the gym substantially in the last couple of sessions and listening in the corner to some sound advice, Luke is looking unbeatable and brimming with confidence. Luke held a high guard ( shockingly true ) and landed some telling body shots. Conroy didn't whither and came back strong in the 3'rd round, again a real crowd pleaser and both lads gave it their all. A unanamous decision went to Fowler.
Joe Cooke was on as last bout of the evening, against a very fast and clever Keith Monks also from the Crumlin Boxing Club. Both lads started strong and landed some very accurate shots keeping them both thinking and moving. Joe started to raise his game and started to show signs of old when he forced an 8 count after a very strong and accurate exchange. Both boxers stayed calm and continued 3 rounds of a technically well boxed bout that was pleasing for all the spectators to watch. Joe got the unanamous decision and was obviously very pleased.
All in all, some very pleasing performances from everyone, and a very well supported tour. A massive thanks to everyone that gave up their time to come over and hopefully we will have a few rematches at 5 Lakes in May.

Billericay Boy's do the club proud..!
Well done to ALL the boys on the home show this evening. The 6 bouts were real testers for all of them. Luke Fowler & Martin George took on England Number 1's, Karl took on Englands Number 2, whilst Steve Wood, Jack Lipton & Joe Cooke boxed some very good and experienced lads.
Luke Fowler had probably his best bout ever in the Billericay Blue vest, beating the grandson of an Olympic Champion. Luke cornered by Kippa & Les held his shape, kept a very good defence and beat a National Champion, the brilliant George Moughton from Newham Boxing Club.
Martin George has now reached a level higher than anyone would have imagined after this being only his 2'nd season boxing competitively, Martin boxed and lost on a VERY close points decision to the extra talented Jack England from Newham. England is regarded by most as number 1 in the country, Martin looked very comfortable competing at this very high level. It was also confirmed that Martin has been chosen to box for ESSEX A.B.A. v London A.B.A. on Sunday 13'th December.
Karl Davis took a bout at very short notice against Farnham's classy little southpaw, Eli Saunders, England's number 2 Openclass schoolboy. Karl boxed nice using his skills against a very tricky opponent, The bout was always going to be close and went Saunders way.
Steve Wood fresh from his National Junior Novice win recently was back in action against Fairbairn's Adam Patel. Both lads boxed really well, scoring clean and easy to judge shots. Steve got the nod. Another good all rounded performance from Wolfy who has come on significantly over the last few months.
Joe Cooke relaunched his career this evening after being hampered the whole of last season with injuries, and never really finding form. Tonight Joe restarted against a very strong and durable Chris Lawrence from London's Fairbairn Club. Joe looked calm and composed for the whole 3 rounds, picking his shots well and landing some telling body shots. Lawrence was a well schooled & tough lad that never stopped, a good bout to watch & a good win for Joe.
Jack Lipton had been training for the last couple of sessions to box a lad from Finchley, unfortunately, the Finchley lad went ill this morning, so we called in the ever ready Billy Polkinghorn at VERY short notice. Jack never really managed to get going as well as he can do, but all credit to Billy for boxing a very good & clever bout. Both are smashing kids and it was a shame that one of them would lose.
Another cracking show, only made possible by the boxers that train so hard in our gym, week in - week out. A massive THANK YOU to ALL those that helped tonight Jacqui, Perry, Ian, Kim, Harry, Tom, Keith, Lynn, Tery, Martin, Sonia and anyone else that I have forgotten to mention.
We have a great club, with some great Kids & Parents, everyone doing their bit to insure the kids remember their time at our club and the sport of Amateur Boxing with fond memories. Billericay is by far the best club I have ever been involved with, in over 30 Years within the sport. A well disciplned Gym that turns out well schooled boxers that will take plenty of National Titles.
