🥊 Stepping Into the Semi-Finals: Leighton Forbes Shines on the National Stage

There’s something special happening at Wellingborough ABC — and this weekend, the rest of the country is going to see it.

We’re incredibly proud to announce that our very own Leighton Forbes has reached the semi-finals of the England Boxing National Schools Championship 2025, competing in the U66kg category. It’s no small feat. These championships bring together the best young boxing talent in the country — and Leighton has earned his place among them with grit, discipline, and relentless commitment.

What’s even better? He’s doing it all with the lion of the East Midlands Region on his chest — and the unwavering support of our club, coaches, and community behind him.

This season marks the start of an exciting new partnership too. We’re proud to have Dainite — makers of iconic rubber soles — as our official competition sponsor. Their products are built to last, made for impact, and designed with understated strength. Sounds familiar, right? Just like our boxers.
