Appointed as the Honorary Secretary of Royal Boxing Club

In Sri Lanka Boxing officially started in 1913 during British colonial period  & at the same year Royal College – Colombo 07 also started Boxing as a sport. Since then Royal college continued Boxing for students & produced champions locally & internationally. The Royal Boxing Club was formed in late 1985 by an enthusiastic band of former Royal College Boxers. They felt that the Club will be an asset to Royal College boxers. In addition it would also assist Old Royalists desirous of competing in National Meets after leaving School. A Constitution was drawn up and the primary objective of the Club was to promote Boxing & Physical Training among Students and Old Boys of the School. Royal College Boys as well as Old Boys have represented the Club at Meets conducted by the ABA of Sri Lanka. The Club has been able to provide assistance to the School by way of Funds, Nourishment and Equipments, ect..

Since 1985 Royal Boxing Club (RBC) has been functioning & managing under honorary office bearers elected at the annual AGM, RBC is also a member of ROGAO (Old Royalists Groups Associations & Clubs Organizers) which  is a part of Royal College Union.

I have been elected & appointed as the Honorary Secretary of Royal Boxing Club at the annual AGM 2014, I am holding this position with pride & passion to contribute something good back to my Alma matter & to this wonderful sport, BOXING which made us confident & positive enough to face challenges in life.

Cheers !
