"Today Is A Proud Day!" - Eddie Hearn Helps Re-Open Lynn ABC

Britain’s oldest amateur boxing club, Lynn Athletic will officially reopen after a rescue package from Matchroom has saved it from permanent closure. Eddie Hearn speaks at the club to help announce the re-opening.
With its doors closed since July, due to Health & Safety concerns, the capital’s famous Lynn AC will be handed back to the local community later this month courtesy of a generous contribution provided by The Matchroom Charitable Foundation.
Renovation is already underway to deliver extensive improvements - including a complete refurbishment, featuring brand new screed flooring - which will mean hundreds of aspiring amateur fighters can once again train and use the gym’s facilities
Lynn AC has been the lifeblood of South London’s booming boxing community since the club was formed in 1892 and was where reigning IBF World Super-Bantamweight Champion Ellie Scotney was introduced to the sport.
Adam Booth, Mickey Cantwell, Danny Williams, Richard Riakporhe, Chris Okoh, Derek Angol, Chris Kongo, Daniel Dubois, Henry Akinwande and Wayne Alexander are other famous British boxing alumni for the club which has survived various crises over the years - including an air raid on the premises during World War II.
Although Lynn AC has been independently funded since its inception in the 19th century, Matchroom is providing an urgent rescue package to ensure future generations can etch their names as part of its fabled history.
Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn today visited Lynn AC, alongside Scotney and DAZN commentator Mike Costello, to see first-hand how early renovations are shaping up.

My brother fought at the lynn over 50 years ago my brother was no Billy knight but the lynn was the premier club as far as i can remember in london for seniors boxers a bit like repton but repton properly had more success with journeirs i went to the Hollington boys club which was back by dulwich hamlet college i think it is finished now cant be sure Hollington wasnt just boxing it was a youth club good luck matchroom really hope you have success

[@MuhammadAli-kv5oe]

Smashing! He's upped the drug testing and now this for british grass root boxing. So refreshing to see a promotional outfit putting back into boxing. Rather than solely aligning their pockets. Well done Ed 👏 revolutionary.

They save tax at 25% of the donation, so 75% came out of their pocket

Eddie giving out 10 k is equivalent to a average person in uk giving 10 pounds in charity still good act but lets put it in perspective

Why do you think Ronaldo can give 100 k to charity but the average guy can’t ? Because the more money you make the Easier it is to give more

Fantastic Eddie well done 👏 10K will cover what is needed. The "100's of kids" paying their subs will continue to keep the place running.
