Donnington’s Liam Davies set to lead boxing masterclass for 4 All Foundation
An inspirational British boxer will inspire the next generation of athletes during a special 4 All Foundation session at his family’s Telford club.
Liam Davies – whose dad and grandad were both boxers too - is set to lead a class at Donnington Boxing Club, which he represented for much of his early career and still trains at to this day. He’ll be doing so alongside Ian Dewey of I.D Boxing who runs regular activities across Shropshire for 4 All.
Now 29, Liam grew up in Donnington and won 79 out of 100 amateur bouts before turning professional at the end of 2018, going on to pick up numerous World, European and British titles across the course of his career to date.
Currently the International Boxing Federation Intercontinental Featherweight Champion, Liam will host the class for 20 children from across Shropshire, who are all part of 4 All Foundation’s ongoing youth programmes.
George Hounsell, the charity’s Director of Operations, said: “We cannot wait to see Liam teach 20 very lucky young people some of his amazing skills at the club which has been such a crucial part of his career.
“We know the young people are also raring to go, ready to find out more about not only the athleticism and training which goes into becoming a professional boxer, but also a bit more about the mentality you need to rise to the top in the sporting world – because that’s so important too.
“A huge thanks to Liam for generously offering his time in order to inspire the next generation – because we are absolutely sure it will be incredibly inspiring!”
