London – Wednesday, 4th September 2013

A film crew from the new British sports channel BT Sport made a visit to the famous East London fight factory, TRAD TKO Boxing Gym, earlier this week to gauge the opinions of the top coaches and many of the young boxing prospects that train there.

 

Amongst those interviewed were TRAD TKO supremo Johnny Eames, legendary coach Jimmy Tibbs, rising Super Middleweight star Frankie Buglioni, soon to be debuting amateur stars Anthony Upton and Amro Azzat, rising female star Marianne ‘Golden Girl’ Marston as well as two former World title challengers, Bruce ‘Lionheart’ Scott and ‘The Prince’ Mark Prince.

Following the interviews the aforementioned Mr. Eames said.

 

“It was really nice that BT Sport chose to come and visit us for interviews here at the TRAD TKO, it’s an exciting new sports channel which we’re all looking forward to seeing develop.

 

All the boys were excited to see this new channel taking an interest in the gym and our fighters, hopefully they’ll take an interest in our promotions also.

 

BT Sport has been creating a buzz, lots of conversation in the sports world at the moment, I know that a few of the boys here would love to box on a BT Sport broadcast show, who knows in the future maybe we can do something together.”
