Youth Open Talent Day set for February

England Boxing is hosting a Talent Open Day for Youth boxers on Saturday 29th February at Tamworth Boxing Gym.

Open Talent Days are designed to identify talented boxers that may not have been scouted during the England Boxing National Youth Championships being staged in February.

This could include two highly-rated boxers meeting in the early stages of the competition, as well as others unable to enter due to injury.

Each boxer will be assessed on technical and tactical skills, using a rating system, and will receive feedback from the England Boxing coaches on the day.

Following the assessment, boxers who met the required assessment levels will be invited onto the England Talent Programme.

Registration (see below) is open until Friday 21^st February at 4pm.

A Talent Open Day for Juniors will follow on 5th April at Tamworth, with more details in due course.
