FightHUB Boxing Club to back Egyptian children's charity

FightHUB Boxing Club, in Stroudley Road, is backing The Valley Kings Foundation.

Head coach Kyle Cannings said that they fully support such an initiative and continues to assist this charity.

He said: “Through the boxing club's support, the charity hosts dedicated boxing events and donates all proceeds and donations to the children's charity, The Valley Kings Foundation.

“FightHUB Boxing club based in Basingstoke has facilitated a steady flow of financial support for Valley Kings Gym, enabling the sustainability of free activities for the most vulnerable children in Egypt.

“The standard of living in Egypt is extremely low, leading to poor life outcomes, socio-economic conditions, and life expectancy.”

Kyle continued: “We hold great admiration for the impactful initiatives undertaken by the Valley Kings Foundation, prompting us to offer our assistance and support wherever it may be needed globally. Kudos to the Valley Kings Foundation for their unwavering dedication and hard work.

“Whilst FightHub Boxing Club has grown over the years we are now able to continue to share our success and support other organisations and charities, we also continue to raise funds to enable our club to continue to grow.”

The Valley Kings Foundation’s mission is the use of youth boxing training and other sports as platforms to promote both physical and mental health.

The foundation was born from the success of the Egypt Valley Kings Project, which launched in 2021. This initiative in Egypt invited vulnerable children aged four to 18 to train at the gym for free.
