Boxing legend will be a knock out
Boxing legend Frank Bruno will be the special guest when a Shropshire sports coaching company celebrates its tenth anniversary next month.
Bruno, the former WBC world heavyweight boxing champion, is heading to the county for Crossbar Coaching Education in Sport’s 10 year anniversary ball at Lilleshall National Sports & Conference Centre on July 13.
He will hold a question and answer session with Liverpudlian comedian Jed Stone, the event’s host, in which Bruno will look back on his successful career in the ring and life after boxing.
Gavin Cowan, Crossbar’s managing director, said: “Frank Bruno is really a national treasure and he was was the one person I really wanted to come along.
"I wasn’t sure if that was realistic, but we’ve managed to get him and I’m still in awe that he will be joining us. It will be a real privilege to be able to host him and for Frank to be a part of our special night.”
Crossbar was launched in 2008 as a football coaching company for youngsters. They now deliver sport across the curriculum to a host of Shropshire primary schools, hold popular holiday courses around the county and deliver a full-time two-year course, the Crossbar College of Sport and Physical Activity, for school leavers.
A limited number of tickets are available for the event.
Priced £50 each or £500 for a table of 10, the celebration evening, which starts at 7pm, will include a three-course meal and live music from local band The Gold Room.
