Waltham Forest Amateur Boxing Club will be led by the vastly experienced Ken Oram after the coach joined the club this week.

A former amateur boxer with Fitzroy Lodge, Oram has spent the last eight years coaching at Fairbairn ABC in Seven Kings.

Secretary Ian Cuddy said: “We are absolutely delighted to have Ken on board. He is someone that I have come to know very well at various shows over the years.

“I have the utmost respect for Ken’s dedication to this sport and I believe he will be a big driving force in helping us step up a gear this season,” Cuddy added.

To mark Oram's arrival, Waltham Forest is offering ‘free sessions with Ken’ on September 9, 12, 16 and 19 at E4 Health and Fitness in Hickman Avenue, Highams Park.
