Milton Keynes electrical contractor funds boxers’ trip to Sweden

When Bletchley Boxing Club needed sponsorship to send a team of young boxers to Sweden for a prestigious tournament, one CEO was quick to throw his hat in the ring.

Callum Biscoe, who had himself been a teenage boxer at the club and is now the managing director of C&B Electrical Contractors Ltd, was delighted to give back, paying for the trip and even accompanying the party.

“When you get the chance to give back, you do,” he said yesterday. “When I was 17, I found myself at a crossroads, but the club gave me the discipline and structure to make the right decisions.

“Boxing taught me resilience. You learn early on that you’ll take hits in life, but what matters is how you respond.”

The team of young boxers flew into Gothenburg and travelled to nearby Boras for the King of the Ring (KOTR) competition, founded by Ray and Mona Husac.

“The excitement around the club was infectious,” Callum recalls. “From the young athletes to the parents and coaches, everyone was buzzing. It was clear this was an opportunity that could change lives.”

For the young boxers, the experience was transformative. Competing internationally offered more than just a chance to fight - it was a chance to grow.

Two of the sponsored athletes – Jack Clayden and Qasim Mehmood – went on to win in the finals, but Callum believes the trip’s real value lay in what it built inside them.

“It presents an opportunity to really bolster one’s self-confidence and perception of a broader landscape,” he explains. “Being taken out of your small pond and put into an international lake is a sink-or-swim moment.

For the young fighters returning home from Sweden - medals in hand, confidence in full bloom - that support has already made a difference.

And for Callum Biscoe, it’s a reminder that success isn’t just about how far you go - it’s about how many people you help along the way.
