The North Herts ABC are holding another open boxing show in Hitchin this weekend.
It is at the Remix nightclub in Hermitage Road on Easter Sunday afternoon.
Doors open at 12.30pm, with boxing due to start at 2pm. The entrance fee is £10 for adults, and £5 for under-14s on the door.
There is another chance for new local talent to box against boys from as far away as Norfolk, Suffolk and South London.
North Herts ABC founder Wayne Armstrong said: "As we are an expanding club, we need to buy new kit, equipment and also new canvas for the boxing ring for the boys.
"We are also looking for new major sponsors, as I fund the club solely out of my own pocket and this works out very expensive.
