Unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua makes a significant intervention for amateur boxing clubs, writes John Dennen ANTHONY JOSHUA, the unified heavyweight champion of the world, has made a significant intervention to support amateur boxing in Great Britain. It’s not only a donation, though of course individual donations have never been more welcome to the amateur sport, but he has set up a fund that will be ringfenced for amateur boxing clubs solely and administered by the national federations of England, Scotland and Wales. The details of how clubs can apply will be shared in the coming days but the system will be modelled along the lines of how grants from Sport England’s Tackling Inequalities Fund were distributed. Joshua’s wider financial support will be bolstered by Under Armour, who have offered to match his backing through the supply of their products.
