Fisticuff fans and enthusiasts, want to learn from one of the best?

Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. is offering a Shanghai masterclass at Golden Gloves Boxing Gym on October 29. 

The one-and-a-half hour masterclass will be followed by a half hour Q&A session, plus attendees will receive signed gloves, a signed t-shirt and a framed photo of the man himself. Also not a bad way to possibly learn some tips ahead of December's Brawl on the Bund for those in training...

For those who are asking 'Roy Jones who?', he is the first man in a 106 years to move up five weight classes from middleweight to heavyweight and win the Heavyweight World Championship. He is also considered to be one of the best pound-for-pound boxers of all time. Needless to say, attend this workshop and you're bound to learn a thing or two.

Tickets are RMB3,500 before Sep 30 or RMB5,000 after; spaces are limited to only 20 so be sure to sign up early. To register, email vidal@goldenglovesgym.com.
