Boxing: matches and taster sessions

On the initiative of the Orléans Boxing Club, a new friendly inter-club meet-up will be held on Saturday 21 March, from 4pm to 7.30pm, at the Salle des Palmeraies in Quartier d’Orléans. Taking part in the matches will be clubs from the French side of the island – Orléans Boxing Club SXM, ABC Intersport Concordia, Sandy Ground Boxing Club – and, from the Dutch side, Shawn Blair’s club. These bouts will allow boxers to test their skills against one another with the sole aim of assessing their progress, whilst respecting the rules and values of the Noble Art. The event is open to all and admission is free, with the added bonus of free introductory sessions for everyone (aged 9 to 65). The practice of boxing is a valuable educational tool. It helps young people channel their energy, develop self-control and build self-confidence. Contrary to popular belief, boxing is not a school of violence, but above all a school of discipline, respect and pushing oneself to the limit. Information: 06 90 62 55 19
