Reigning Midland boxing champion Steve Saville aka ‘The Wednesfield Bomber’ has pledged to repay local businesses and organisations who helped him after his personal gym was damaged by a fire earlier this month.
Steve is hoping to bring home the English title at Wolverhampton Civic Hall on September 18th as a way of repaying those who have provided him with training facilities whilst his gym is rebuilt.
He said: “The response has been fantastic. The Village Hotel on Junction 10 (Walsall) gave me a free membership so I could do my fitness work there, while Wolverhampton Boxing Club literally handed me the keys so I could do my pad-work.”
“Now I will repay them with the English title, the situation has only made me hungrier.”
Steve’s previous title-winning fight against Baz Carey is up for the Midland Boxing Council’s Fight of the Year award next month – so if you’re a boxing fan make sure you get tickets for the upcoming fight at the Civic Hall on September 18th by contacting the box office on 0870 320 7000 or promoter Paul ‘PJ’ Rowson on 07976 283 157, it’s bound to be a fight to remember!

a saville fight is always a good scrap. i have been to 3 of his previous fights as a professional, but have seen plenty more of his scraps in the playground as i went to school with him. steve is a born fighter, and its what he loves doing.
if you want to see a good scrap, get your tickets for this coming friday at the civic. i got mine and cant wait!
