ClickOut Media makes £5,000 donation to Rotunda Amateur Boxing Club in Liverpool

 

Marketing company ClickOut Media has made a donation of £5,000 to former professional boxer Tony Bellew, representative of the Rotunda Amateur Boxing Club, the gym which ‘saved his life’.

Tony Bellew is now becoming a prominent figure in the sports media world and following a chat with marketing agency Clickout Media, the firm felt moved to make a donation to the Rotunda ABC, which is where the former WBC Cruiserweight Champion currently trains, alongside a host of other Liverpudlian professional fighters and potential future champions.

The Rotunda is a listed charity and relies on donations from donors in order to continue to offer a place for youngsters to start their careers, train and gain a sense of self and belonging through sport.

Speaking to ClickOut Media, Bellew said of the Rotunda: “It’s an amazing gym, without those four walls and without Jimmy Albertina coming into my life when he did I would never have achieved what I have. It’s a cliche but boxing 100% saved my life. I don’t know what else I would have been doing. I was doing anything to make ends meet because I had this dream of one day becoming a world champion boxer.

“Apart from that dream I only dreamed of having nice things and let’s be honest I didn’t have the education behind me or the brain power to achieve those nice things and a kid coming from where I come from – that was only going to end one way. That’s the way it goes but thankfully I found Rotunda, I found Jimmy [Albertina]. I had good parents behind me and it worked out in the end. But without those four walls I don’t know what would have happened with my life.”

Since his retirement, Bellew has worked closely with ClickOut Media as a boxing analyst and pundit and the generous donation will help Rotunda ABC fund more champions.

He added: “All the amateur boxing coaches are unpaid. They’re doing it out of the kindness of their own heart. They’re doing it because they want to help kids, develop kids. And also they want to make national champions.

“The Rotunda ABC turns out national champions every single year. We really do so. And the coaches, as I said before, they’re not paid. So the least we can do is try and help them with their expenses. You know, traveling isn’t cheap. Whether it’s driving a bus, whether it’s getting on trains, these guys are going to different shows every day of the week. So, I’m so grateful to the guys and Clickout Media, I can’t thank them enough. It goes such a long way.”

Owen Fulda, Head of Press Content at Clickout Media, said: “Rotunda Amateur Boxing Club is synonymous with boxing champions and we are delighted to play a small part in funding more. The donation is the first of a series we plan to make and he [Tony Bellew] suggested the Rotunda as it is a place that is dear to him. It’s helped keep kids off the street and has trained numerous former champions including Bellew himself.

“As an agency, we have worked with numerous boxers who represent brands we work with. We listened to them about causes that are important and they have all said that grassroots sport is the most important, especially given the current climate and rise in cost of living.”

Bellew had a sensational career in the ring, with his last fight ending in defeat to Oleksandr Usyk. The Ukrainian has gone on to achieve greatness in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions including success over Anthony Joshua (twice), Daniel Dubois and now Tyson Fury (twice).

The Bomber gave a special mention to Usyk when speaking about the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time.

Bellew said: “On accolades alone and achievements. He’s right up there (as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time”. You’d have to look at the stats, he’s gone from the cruiserweight division where he’s reigned, gone into everyone’s backyard and beat them up on their own patch. He’s gone to the heavyweight division, which I didn’t think he’d be able to fully do.”

Clickout Media as an agency are firmly committed to sports charitable work having donated in 2024 to Bob Wilson’s Willow Foundation, Haven House Hospice and Matchroom Sports Official charity The Matchroom Charitable Foundation.

“We are looking forward to holding our 2025 Annual International Gaming Summit in Berlin, a historic city with a vibrant art and culinary scene. Our 2025 agenda addresses numerous issues of critical importance including the growing illegal market, the potential impact of AI across gaming operations, the progression of online casinos and navigating due diligence challenges in M&A transactions. Additionally, our agenda again includes a full-day focused on issues unique to sports betting operations, including a current look at the state of advertising restrictions, growing conflicts of interest, and a session focused on lessons learned from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the Euro Cup in Germany,” Jeff Barbin, IAGA President and a Partner with Phelps.

Barbin continued: “We are also pleased to announce that as part of the Summit, we will be launching a new initiative focused on building relationships between global gambling and betting regulators and major sports governing bodies. Our Sports and Wagering Integrity Coalition working group will focus on identifying collaborative ways that regulators and sport governing authorities can address growing threats to sports integrity and sports wagering and collaboratively identify ways to build stronger relationships to confront these threats. During the Coalition’s first closed-door workshop, experts from each stakeholder group will share unique challenges they face, highlighting ways that each side can better collaborate to protect game integrity and sport wagering and address the growing threats posed by the illegal gambling market. With major global events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the 2028 Olympics and the 2031 Rugby World Cup coming to the United States, we believe it’s critical that both industries deepen their collaboration to address the growing challenges each side faces.”
