THREE lucky teenagers from Worcester Amateur Boxing Club will get a flavour of life as a top boxer in the Royal Navy as they are put through their paces in an exclusive camp.
The Royal Navy has joined forces with the Amateur Boxing Association to help nurture the talents of Britain’s young boxers.
Forty 13 to 17 year olds from across the country have been selected to attend the one-off camp at Newcastle’s impressive Royal Marines Reserves base by the River Tyne on Thursday.
Trent Smith, Jon Roberts and Usman Multoni will not only get to see exactly what life is like on base but also receive special coaching before being put through their paces by the physical training instructors.
Stars of the boxing team, Corporals Greg Wellins and Jonny Stephens, will be on hand to show the youngsters the tricks of the trade.
The Royal Navy chefs’ demonstration team will lead the group in cooking up some classic recipes, allowing the boys to learn more about nutrition.
