History

Barton Hill Amateur Boxing Club was opened by ex world super-middleweight champion and Bristol boy Glen Catley on 4th February 2007.

The club started out to help the youngsters of Barton Hill and surrounding areas stay safe and encourage them to participate in sports and to teach them discipline and respect for others.

The club is now fully affiliated to ABA of E and over the last 7 years the club has grown and been able to help many boxers, but has also produced 5 Westren Counties champions with one boxer Aston Grant holding 3 Bristol & Somerset Northern Divsion championship titles, 3 Western Counties championship titles all at diferent weigts. He as also represented Western Counties in the Nationals and as twice been a semi finalist of the national ABA finals. Not bad for a club that only started in 2007.

We have approximately 200 members, from all ethnicities and backgrounds ages vary from 10 to 65 yrs

We are a boxing club 1st but we are also part of the community of Barton Hill, with the support of locals we intend to try and emulate what Barton Hill boxing club did in the past over 50years ago.
