The club is the 'first of its kind in the area'
A man who wanted to keep his 'Nottingham legend' grandad's legacy alive has opened a new boxing club. Samuel Varley, an experienced personal trainer and boxing coach, said Lady Bay Boxing Club is 'the first club of its kind in the area' and opened in September last year.
Michael Andrew Varley, better known as Mick Varley, was a British boxer who became a "star" in the 70s and 80s, his grandson said. He added that Mr Varley was also the only person from Nottingham to attend the Olympics for boxing.He sadly died aged 73, after a battle with dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and cancer, his grieving grandson added. Samuel Varley, aged 31, added: "He had dinner with the Queen. He was a star in the 70s and 80s.
"So I wanted to keep his legacy alive. Unfortunately it was a quick downfall and it was very sad when he died. We wanted to commemorate him and celebrate his life. He raised me and my brother.Grandson Mr Varley said he is thoughtful of the cost of living crisis, so much that an hour of personal training is just £15. But he sometimes offers personal training for free, helping and giving advice to people who have special needs.
