DUDLEY’S Priory Park Boxing Club is set to hold an open day to officially launch its new facilities.

The popular club in Priory Road has undergone a £250,000 refurbishment.

The extension was made possible by fundraising efforts and a £50,000 grant from Sports England.

New facilities will be unveiled on Friday, June 24 before a fun day on Saturday, June 25.

The fun day will run from 10am to 2pm and is open to all. Visitors will have the chance to jump in the ring with one of the club’s pro boxers or enjoy pad work with coaches. It will also give visitors the chance to have a look round the new facility.

Coach Paul Gough said: “It will be great to finally launch the new gym. It’s been open but we are now able to use all of it after the final work was completed.

“The day will give people the chance to come down and see what we do.”
