Ethan’s exclusive boxing session at professional club

A youngster who is receiving rehabilitation at The Children’s Trust following a brain tumour has enjoyed an exclusive boxing lesson.

Ethan Ridd, nine, was given VIP treatment at Fight Knights Boxing Club in Morden which was specially opened for his visit and where he met champion boxers.


The gym workers had managed to call in a favour from Lenny Daws, a former two time British light welterweight champion and Michael Smith, the current featherweight champion.


They trained Ethan on different punches and stances during the session and he proved to have a talent!

At the end of the lesson Ethan was given lots of souvenirs including a heavy-weight belt, boxing gloves and wraps.

And the generous owners didn't charge a penny for the experience.
