Eastside A.B.C in need of cash. As you can see from the photograph below the Eastside A.B.C gym is falling apart. We require £500,000 to rebuild our gym to a standard that will allow us to continue to produce amateur boxing champions of the future.
So far we have been able to secure a grant for £250,000; the only problem is that to be able to receive the money we need to raise the same amount ourselves. The club has always been helped out by local businesses, boxers family and friends, but no matter how many sponsored fights, skips, or runs we do, it is always the same people who support us and to be perfectly honest there is no way we could raise £250,000 in this manner before the gym collapses around us. If you have any ideas on how we could fundraise / gather this money or you would be interested in sponsoring the gym or even making a charitable donation to the club (Registered Charity Number XR98998) please contact us. Alan Wilton - 07880 926 596 Or Email - Admin@EastsideBoxingClub.co.uk Hopefully we can raise this money to carry on making a difference in the lives of young people and producing some of the finest amateur boxers around.

Bell tolls for Webb in 10 secs By David Kelly 08 October 2006Scott Belshaw blasted his way to one of the fastest knockouts in British ring history last night. In what proved to be sensational debut for the 6ft 7' heavyweight, Belshaw knocked out fellow debutant Lee Webb in just 10 seconds at the Holiday Inn. Amid the jubilation there was also concern for Webb, whose 17st 10lb frame hit the canvas with a sickening thud and required oxygen from the paramedics before he got to his feet after around five tense minutes. It was only Belshaw's second punch of his professional - a straight left followed by another sent Webb crashing to the ground. The 21-year-old Lisburn man jumped in delight as the hall erupted and admitted that he was "shocked" by the early victory. "I can hardly believe it. To be honest I thought he was going to get up after the punch. I didn't think that I hit him that hard," said Belshaw. "This was just a dream debut for me and to have my family here was so special, it brought a tear to my eye. "It's just fantastic for me. I was just getting loosened up and then he went down. I've been having some great sparring in London and it all paid off. "Now I just want to get back in the ring as soon as possible. A busy fighter is a successful fighter." No doubt manager Frank Maloney will seek to have Belshaw out again as soon as possible after such an eye-catching start to the Lisburn man's career. In the main event, Martin Rogan moved to the brink of the top ten in the British heavyweight ratings with a points victory over Paul King. King, ranked around 12, was comprehensively outpointed 60-55. Rogan may have marked up under his left eye, partly due to King's left lead but from the second round onwards the Belfast man dominated. At times Rogan was finding it very hard to catch the taller, awkward Sheffield fighter, with clean blows but he maintained a high workrate which proved decisive. In the third round Rogan started to find the range and a short left hook forced King to cover up. As the round came to a close Rogan got through with a right to the body and another short left to the head. King was having sporadic success with his left hand, tagging Rogan as he drove forward while at one point in the fourth round the Belfast man screamed in a demand for his opponent to stand and trade. King started to tire in the fifth and sixth rounds and Rogan came up with some of his best work, tracking him down and firing home his hooks. Rogan will return to the ring in three weeks time on October 26 at the Andersonstown Leisure Centre. Light-welterweight James Gorman picked up a much needed victory with a 59-56 decision over Welshman Steve Anning's. Gorman lost the first two rounds as Anning's early assaults got through but then the east Belfast man started to find his rhythm and he was always in command from the third onwards as his opponent started to fade. But there was disappointment for another man from the east as bantamweight Colin Moffatt lost on points to Matt Edmonds. Welshman Edmonds deservedly picked up a 40-37 decision.
