Callum Biscoe proves a knockout charity fundraiser for his old Bletchley boxing club
Posted: Friday, May 16th, 2025
A major amateur boxing event showcasing the talents of youngsters aged 10 to 21 will take place in Milton Keynes later this month. Organised by the Bletchley Boxing Community Hub, it will feature 16 male and female bouts during an action-packed afternoon at the Hotel La Tour, Milton Keynes, on Sunday 18 May. One leading event sponsor has particular reason to be proud – Callum Biscoe, now a heavyweight in electrical contracting, was a youngster at the Bletchley gym. “Discovering the club was a life-changing experience for me,” said Callum, 27, who owns a local commercial electrical services firm, C&B Electrical Contractors, based in Linford Wood. “It would be fair to say that I was a ‘lost teen’ and boxing helped me turn my life around, instilling discipline, drive and confidence when I needed it most. Those qualities have helped me in business, and now I want to give back.” Bletchley Boxing Community Hub has a fundraising target of £100,000 for 2025 and is specifically looking for a flooring company to donate new, hard-wearing carpet for the gym. VIP tables and dining are available at the boxing show on 18 May. Tickets can be bought on the door (£20 adults, £10 for children 15 and under). All proceeds go towards the charity.
