Summary

Pathe synopsis: Introducing the only public house in the United Kingdom that has its own boxing club for youngsters. Run by Dave McCleave, one of Britain’s greatest welter-weight boxers, the aim of the club is to encourage youngsters to take up amateur boxing and keep them off the streets. Because of the licensing laws the boys enter the pub by a special door at the back while the ring itself is in a different room to the bar.
