History
Penarth Amateur Boxing Club was formed in 1952 by George Cutts, a local builder in Penarth. George had a successful building business but selflessly invested his own time and money to establish the club in Penarth. George believed the club would be good for the local lads.
And what a tremendous club he created. Penarth Amateur Boxing Club has nurtured many fine champions over the years. Indeed, one of the best was George's own son Jeff who honed his skills at Penarth ABC and went on to win several Welsh titles and a medal at the Commonwealth Games.
The club has had quite a few venues over the years but the current venue, St Paul 's Church in Penarth, has been its home for over thirty years. The club is presently managed by Neil Munn, an ex Penarth ABC boxer himself. Neil became Welsh Champion and then turned professional, had twenty six fights and worked his way up to fighting the number three in the world. Neil is passionate about boxing and the club and dedicates much of his spare time to helping the young boxers develop their skills.
