Elliott Banks-Browne fights sponsor to ‘Help for Heroes'
By TMX Archives on 11th Nov 10
Elliott Banks-Browne has been incorporating boxing training as part of his fitness regime while off the track and judging by his battles on the track and overall results this year it's definitely given him a competitive edge. He is now looking to take it a step further and has agreed to fight in a White Collar Boxing Show' to raise money for the Help for Hero's' charity.
This is the brain child of Pulse Racing Products and Elliott's team sponsor. Pulse Racing directors, Justin Green and Jim Peters, are both keen ‘white collar boxers' and along with motocross commentator, Chris Warren Jnr, they are all billed to fight on a card which will be staged at Portsmouth City Guildhall on Saturday, November 20. When questioned, Jim Peters from Pulse explained: "Justin, Chris and myself have been boxing now for a couple of years and see it as a great way to stay fit and motivated. "We have been working closely with ‘EBB' all year and have been trying to get him in the ring. Now that his racing commitments are finished he has agreed to fight. "We're sure motocross fans will come and support us all at this event as we try and raise as much money as we can and maybe it might encourage some other pro riders to step up to the plate and get involved in a future ‘rider vs rider' bout!
