The Edmonton Eagles Amateur Boxing Club was formed in June 2004 as an initiative of the Club's President Penny Efstathiou, who saw the potential to really impact the area, especially the young people in a positive and dynamic way. Penny, along with the Club's Honorary Secretary
Dr Costakis C. Evangelou and a team of committed volunteers oversee and run all the training sessions and every aspect of the club. The Borough Commander for Enfield at that time, Simon O'Brien, shared the vision for the club and the police helped pay for a boxing ring, punch bags, head guards, gloves and other equipment. When the club moved to the Edmonton Leisure Centre in July 2005, the police provided the funding to fully convert an area of the Leisure Centre into a self contained boxing club. The Management team of the Leisure Centre also fully supported the move and worked with the club to see it quickly established at its new site.

At a successful Open Day in January, the guest speakers included Sharon Rowe, Borough Commander for Enfield; Simon O’Brien, Borough Commander for Haringey, Local MP Andy Love, Terry Marsh, the former undefeated British, European and IBF World light welterweight champion and Phil Sowter, Chair of the Enfield Leisure Centres Trust, all of whom shared on the success of the Club and the positive influence that it is bringing to the lives of its members and the community at large.

With the news that London has been successful in its bid for the 2012 Olympics, the focus on sport will be even more highlighted in the coming years and that many young people will be inspired in the area of sport and have hopes and aspirations of their own. The aim and ethos of the Edmonton Eagles Amateur Boxing Club is that it would be used to help cultivate and fulfill this potential and to bring a sense of achievement and self-worth to all those that attend.
