A new sponsorship deal from Nationwide Concreting is helping to spur on a local boxer as he trains for the biggest fight of his career so far.
Charlie Quinn, who was born in Bournemouth, is scheduled to feature on the undercard of the Leon McKenzie English Super Middle Weight Title fight in November - a high profile event at York Hall Bethnal Green in London, which is attracting attention from national media including Sky Sports and the BBC.
Charlie, who only turned professional in April 2016 after completing a successful amateur apprenticeship at the highly regarded Golden Ring Boxing Club in Southampton, won his debut fight in July.
His quick rise to professional boxing was spotted by Nationwide Concreting Managing Director John Pyatt, “Being a local lad, I was keen to offer Charlie support and sponsorship to help him reach the top. As well as being a highly dedicated professional boxer, Charlie is still serving as a full time fire fighter. Balancing these two highly demanding careers is often difficult so I hope our sponsorship money will go some way to helping him achieve his goals.”
“All at Nationwide wish him the very best in his training and upcoming fights. We’ll be following his progress with great interest” said John, who himself is no stranger to local sporting activity having been involved in local football at a managerial level for over twenty years.
Charlie is equally thrilled at the financial backing he’s received from Nationwide Concreting.
“I’m so grateful for John’s help and support. Sponsorship is vital for this sport. At the lower rungs of the boxing ladder, many of us fighters have to actually pay to fight if we can’t sell enough tickets and this becomes a real issue of whether or not to continue fighting. Having any kind of financial backing from sponsors helps to keep a fighter kitted out, licensed and in the gym training hard and working towards their dreams. The money donated by Nationwide has enabled me to buy more sparring gloves and much needed training equipment.”
