During the evening of Thursday 28 January, RAF Coningsby hosted a very special event in the 41 Squadron hangar. After months of planning, a Charity Boxing Night between the Royal Air Force (RAF), the Royal Navy (RN) and the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers (RRF) was ready to commence after the first ring of the bell.
Station Warrant Officer, Trevor Shippey and Cpl Pete Lownie had been planning this event for the last four to six months with representatives from the RN and the RRF. The evening consisted of ten bouts, with competitors weights ranging from 61 – 91 kilograms. WO Shippey explained the range of experience within the teams,
“We had some elite and very experienced boxers, including the Combined Service Champion, but there were also some boxers who were stepping through the ropes and into the ring for the first time.”
In the RAF team, there was support from RAF Coningsby, Cranwell, Marham, Honington and Wittering.
The procedures leading up to the first bout were carefully controlled and in line with the RAF Boxing Association guidelines. All competing boxers had a medical at the Station Medical Centre, prior to being weighed by RAF Boxing Association Officials. Once weighed, their opponent was confirmed, making sure weights and experience matched, to ensure a fair bout.
The bouts were made up of three by two minute rounds, with a minute interval in between. Following each bout, the runner up and winner collected a trophy, presented by the RAF Coningsby Station Executives and representatives from the RN and the RAF Boxing Association.
The second half of the evening was purposely planned for the more experience boxers, with the final bout being between two elite boxers, one from the RAF (the combined services champion) and one from the RN as a fitting finale to this unique event for RAF Coningsby.
RAF Coningsby had two boxers entered into the competition, Senior Aircraftsman (SAC) Ollie Kirk and Leon Sait.
SAC Kirk is based on 11 Squadron as an Avionics Engineer and is from Eckington near Sheffield. New to competitive boxing, Ollie said,
“I’m feeling really excited about the competition. I only started boxing 13 months ago and it’s my first competition. My goal is to win and carry on boxing for the Royal Air Force.”
SAC Leon Sait is based on 41 Squadron as a Survival Equipment Fitter and has been boxing for nearly 2 years. From the Wirral, near Liverpool Leon explained the preparation he had done ready for the competition.
“I’ve been training for the fight since before Christmas. This is my first boxing bout; I’ve had a couple of Thai boxing fights, but I haven’t fought for two years, so it’s good to get back into it.”
Money raised from the evening will go to the following charities:
SSAFA, LEMR and Rej’s Dream
