In this video, I chat to professional boxing trainer & coach Bevis Allen who is well known within boxing circles; especially in London.
Bevis currently works for the Mayor of London as a programme & policy officer delivering sports strategies. He has also previously worked for London Sport & England boxing as a boxing development officer and consultant respectively.
When working for England Boxing, he was involved in a fanastic initiative called “Clink to Club” that teaches resilience and other fundamental skills to prisoners to help them integrate back into the community via local boxing clubs.
In our interview, we cover a mutltide of topics including:
•Growing up in Enfield, London being part of the first black family to live there
•How he got into boxing and the sense of belonging it provides
•The days when 30 million people would watch the big boxing nights on TV
•Why there’d be no GB boxing, Anthony Joshua, Amir Khan, Luke Campbell, Nicola Adams etc without Audley Harrison
•The unbelievable sacrifices amateur boxing trainers make on a daily basis
•The history and current state of female boxing
•How boxing shows just how mortal you actually are
…..AND MUCH MORE!
