It has been many years since Primrose had its own boxing club, and it was this that made Louwrens Ellis decide to open the Primrose Open Boxing Academy.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe there is a need for a boxing club in Primrose,\u201d Ellis told the GCN.<\/p>
\u201cI previously coached at a club in Boksburg and decided to move from there to open a club here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The club can be found in Symhurst and Ellis hopes it will offer children, and adults, an opportunity to get fit in a healthy and encouraging environment.<\/p>
\u201cI hope it will keep children off the streets and give them a more productive way to spend their time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
