Eva Rolle To Launch ‘Boxing Outreach Program’ In Malta

By Alexander Zammit

Boxing is a sport that for hundreds of years has fired the imagination of youths and the not so young. In many countries around the world many organizations have boxing programs which are intended to reach youths in under-privileged areas.

Boxing Programs have been proven not only to provide exercise & health but a feeling of camaraderie amongst those participating. Law enforcement agencies in many countries use boxing to bridge the gap between law enforcement, youths and the community.

Boxing outreach programs provide positive interaction between youths and the community, especially reaching out to those to those youths considered at risk for making poor choices in their lives.

‘Malta Boxing Council’ president Eva Rolle is expected to give details of Malta’s first outreach boxing program, during a press conference which is expected to be held at the Bugibba Hotel on the 30th of May.

The Press Conference will highlight the Professional Boxing Night, which is being promoted by Micallef promotions for the 7th of June and Eva Rolle’s plans for launching the Malta Out-Reach Boxing Program for youths.

Eva Rolle has already launched with success similar programs in Germany and Turkey.
“Boxing is not only about winning titles but it is a way to reach the community and youths by offering an alternative and healthier lifestyle and instilling self discipline leading to better integration into the community. The program will also offer support and advice to youths in avoiding negative decisions which lead to devastating life-long consequences” said Eva Rolle.

Eva Rolle along with local boxing promoter Edwin Micallef will be addressing the press conference which will be held at the TBH in Qawra on the 30th May, 2013. Also Present for this press conference which is open to the press and the general public will be a number of local boxers who will be participating in the professional boxing night, which is to be held at the Bugibba Holiday Complex on the 7th of June

At the end of the grading each group had to apply what they learnt while sparring with other students. Even though it was a grading all athletes had to wear full body protection for safety reasons.

The students and their respective belts were: Red: Joan Seisun, Logan Galea, Jan Tanti, Kurt Mizzi, Salvatore Santonbelo, Kieth Pace, Mark Azzoppardi, Etienne Stanmore, Michael Grech, Nicholas Laurier, Glenn Dimech, Thea Dimech, Adrian Attard, Amanda Grech, Roxanne Azzoppardi, Glenn Zammit, Daniela Zammit, Abigail Bonnici, Melvin Fenech; Green: Brian Vella, Claudio Camilleri, Kevin Farrugia, Reuben Magro, Charlo spiteri, Donio Vella; Purple: Giancarlo Benetti, Sasha Silvio, Gianella Mifsud; Blue: Bernice Casha, Antonella Caruana Seguna, Joachin Mifsud Attard, Liam Mifsud, Brandon Spiteri, Darien Doneo; Brown:Alan Ellul.

The grading is just one of the activities organised by the MKBA. In June, in collaboration with Gladiators Promotion, it will be organised the next Gladiators Night in the Greek Theatre at Ta’ Qali. For this event there will be matches for Maltese National Titles in different weight categories in Kickboxing and K1 rules.

The main event will be the Re-match between the local professional Kickboxer Daniel “the Jet” Zahra and Bruno Torres from Portugal. “The Jet” will be representing Malta and Ying Yang Team Noel Kickboxing Club.
