History
Penarth Amateur Boxing Club was formed in 1952 by George Cutts, a local builder in Penarth. George had a successful building business but gave his time and money to get the club going.
And what a tremendous club he created producing many fine champions. Indeed, one of the best was George's own son Jeff who won several Welsh titles and a medal at the Commonwealth Games.
The club has had quite a few venues but the current venue, St Paul 's Church in Penarth has been its home for thirty three years. The club is presently managed by Neil Munn, an ex Penarth ABC boxer himself. Neil became Welsh Champion and then turned pro, having twenty six fights and worked his way up to fighting the number three in the world.
