Caerphilly Boxing Club

What a night of boxing! 🔥🥊

Tonight we travelled west with our young Gino, who was boxing on the Prize Fighter Home Show, an event that never disappoints! We were absolutely delighted to be invited back once again, and what a night it turned out to be.

The place was absolutely packed, the atmosphere was electric, Sweet Caroline was blasting out, and then it was time to enter the ring! 🥊🔥

From the opening bell, it was clear we were in for a war.

Gino was up against Joseph Thomas, and from the very first bell both boys went at it.

The first round was extremely close, with both boys showing great skill, courage and determination. I had Gino edging it.

The second round was just as competitive. Both lads were having success, standing their ground and landing some big, heavy shots. This time, the round went to Joseph.

Then came the third.

Both boys knew this fight was right on a knife edge, and they left absolutely everything in that ring. Gino and Joseph went toe-to-toe in another incredibly close and competitive round, giving the packed crowd exactly what they came to see.

Then came the judges’ scorecards…

The decision went to Joseph Thomas.

No complaints from us whatsoever. It was a fair decision in a fantastic fight between two very evenly matched young boxers. Both boys gave everything they had, and both can walk away with their heads held high. 👏🥊

A massive thank you to Kevin and the whole Prize Fighter team for having us once again. Events like this are what boxing is all about!

Thank you to the Western Division RNJs and, of course, our brilliant home support, Oliver and Duffy, for being there and making the night even more special.

A huge special thank you to Stuart for all his help and support tonight, and for everything he continues to do for us and the gym. It is genuinely appreciated. ❤️

And finally… Gino.

As his coach, I honestly couldn’t be prouder.

This was without doubt Gino’s best performance to date. The result might not have gone our way tonight, but performances like this show exactly what he is capable of.

He showed courage, heart, skill, determination and the willingness to stand in there and fight until the very last bell.

The win will come. Tonight was another huge step forward.

Keep your head up, Gino. You did yourself, your family, your team and your gym proud. ❤️🥊

We go again! 💪🔥
Team Caerphilly

🥊 FIRST ONE BACK AND A WIN FOR OLIVER HESTER! 🥊

Last night we travelled down to Llanelli with our boy Oliver Hester for his first fight of the new season.

It was a proper 50/50 fight on paper, two very evenly matched boys, and that’s exactly how it played out in the ring. A tough, competitive fight from the first bell to the last, with both lads leaving everything in there.

After a very close contest, Oliver got the win on a split decision! 👊🥊

We couldn’t be prouder of him. First fight back after the break, a difficult opponent and a close fight, exactly the kind of bout that gives a young boxer valuable experience. Plenty to take away and plenty to work on, but most importantly, we’ve started the new season with a win! 💪🔥

A massive thank you to everyone who travelled down to support Oliver. The noise and support from ringside means more than you know. ❤️🥊

A huge thank you to all our coaches at Caerphilly Boxing Club for the continued hard work, dedication and hours they put in at the gym. The work behind the scenes is what makes nights like this possible.

And a special thank you to Coach Sweed from All Saints for stepping in and helping us out in the corner last night. Really appreciate your help, mate. 👊

Well done Oliver, enjoy the win, take the lessons, and then it’s straight back to work!

🥊 CAERPHILLY BOXING CLUB — BACK TO TRAINING 1ST SEPTEMBER 🥊

I hope everyone has had a great summer break and has enjoyed some well-deserved time away from the gym. I’d like to thank you all for your continued support and commitment to the club.

It’s now time to get back to training, and Caerphilly Boxing Club will reopen on Tuesday, 1st September. I’m looking forward to welcoming everyone back and getting the hard work started again.

Before we return, please take note of the following:

Carded Boxers:
All carded boxers will need to ensure their Sport 80 registration is renewed and up to date. I am also currently in the process of arranging a doctor to carry out the required new medicals for our carded boxers. I will provide further details as soon as the arrangements are confirmed.

Non-Carded Boxers:
All non-carded boxers will need to make sure they are registered on Sport 80.

I appreciate everyone getting these things sorted as soon as possible. It helps us keep everything organised and ensures that we can continue providing a safe, professional and well-run boxing environment for everyone at the club.

Enjoy the remainder of your summer break, and I look forward to seeing you all back at Caerphilly Boxing Club next Tuesday. 🥊

Happy 14th Birthday, Harry! 🥊🎉 Hope you have a brilliant day! Keep working hard, keep believing in yourself, and keep putting in the effort. You’ve got loads of potential, and it’s great to see you improving every session. Have a fantastic birthday! From us all at Caerphilly boxing club 🥳🥊💪

Happy 16th Birthday, Oliver! 🎉🥊

It only feels like yesterday you walked into Caerphilly Boxing Club as a quiet, shy 12-year-old who was happy to blend into the background. Fast forward four years, and you’ve become the star of the show.

You’ve been our most active fighter, and no matter what’s asked of you, we can always count on you to turn up, whether it’s for a fight or for a laugh. Your fantastic personality, great banter, and the respect and politeness you show to everyone make you a credit to yourself, your family, and the club.

It’s been an absolute pleasure watching you grow, not just as a boxer but as a young man. We couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve achieved, and we know this is only the beginning.

Have an amazing 16th birthday, Ollie. Keep working hard, keep smiling, and keep being you. The future is yours! 🥊💙

Today we had young Harry and young Duffy boxing at the Heart of the Dragons Box Cup Finals.

First up was young Harry, who put in a solid performance and gained some valuable experience. Unfortunately, it wasn’t his day, and he lost on a unanimous decision. Plenty to build on, and he’ll be back stronger. 👏🥊

Next into the ring was young Duffy, who put on a superb performance from start to finish, showing skill, composure, and determination to secure a unanimous decision victory! 🥇🔥

Well done to both lads for representing the club with pride. Every time they step through the ropes they’re learning and improving, and we’re proud of them both. Onwards and upwards! 👊🥊

Today we travelled down to Swansea with young Noel, who was boxing in the semi-finals of the Heart of the Dragons Box Cup. 🥊

The first round was toe-to-toe, with both lads standing their ground and throwing plenty of punches. The second and third rounds became much more technical, with some great boxing on display.

Unfortunately, after three hard-fought rounds, Noel lost by unanimous decision. We’re incredibly proud of his effort, heart, and determination, he gave it everything and represented the club brilliantly. 💙

Tomorrow, it’s back to business as we have his brother Harry and young Duffy both boxing in the finals. Best of luck to both lads, we’re all behind you! 👊🥊
