Tonight was the Haringey Police Community Amateur Boxing Dinner. The club does phenomenal work taking young people off the street and out of trouble and giving them a real avenue to achieve. Shock horror – two of the bouts were girls! And they really, really fight. Tonight’s matches were between Haringey Select and Norway Select. The evening – which comprises a black tie dinner, auction of special items like Mohammed Ali’s boxing shorts signed by Ali and of course the boxing itself – raises a lot of money to support the club.

A great event, started by Haringey’s local police commander (the one before the one before this one – Stephen James). Tonight’s host was the current Commander, Simon O’Brien – and hats off to Haringey Police for the good work they do.
