William Hill Racing Staff Boxing Night 2018

On 17th March, 26 racing staff entered the ring to battle it out to raise money for Racing Welfare. Sponsored by William Hill, the black tie event was held at Goffs UK in Doncaster.

The stands soon filled up with spectators ready to show their support. After 8 weeks of gruelling training with UWCB local professional boxing coaches at Henry’s gym York and Ripon Boxing Club the boxers are probably at their fittest yet.
