  • Comments Thread For: Bob Shannon Homeless After Premises Broken Into

    “I’ve spent 21 years of my life in this gym. I was born-and-bred here in Openshaw. I boxed in the main hall of this building twice as an amateur and have spent a lot of years training boxers here as well as giving kids from the local area somewhere to go and train. Now it feels like everything I was working for has been torn away from me. I’ve been locked out of the place where I’ve been putting down roots and a legacy for my family for all of these years. I don’t want it to end like this.”

    Veteran Manchester trainer Bob Shannon clearly had a heavy heart during a long conversation with BoxingScene about a recent break in at Crossley House Youth Centre, which houses his Fighting Fit gym. Shannon had taken a two week break to recharge his batteries after an emotionally draining season only to have it cut short by the news that thieves had broken into the old building on Ashton Old Road to strip it of its copper pipes and other metals, which prompted the council to temporarily close down the building for health and safety reasons.

            That sucks. Thieves are just looking out for themselves and don't care who they hurt.

            It would be nice if some of England's boxing stars helped him out a little.

              Absolute scumbags, makes you sick. Someone will know who did it and hopefully they will get what's coming to them.

              Bob is a lovely man. I hope he can get back up and running again soon. I'm sure Ricky Hatton will see him right.

                  Not being funny, He was having *** with 15-year-old girls 15 years previous to the trial , And from what I’m told it was rushed under the carpet by other professionals that are trained with him .
