Steve Goodwin is one of the countries foremost promoters and managers. Goodwin Boxing is arguably the face of the small hall boxing scene. Due to the pandemic, Steve Goodwin has not been able to promote any shows since March 2020 and as a result, hundreds of boxers under his management have been unable to box and therefore unable to make any money.
Boxing has received ZERO funding from the government in their scheme to help sports. Boxing fans have been extremely disappointed about this as the sport in an amateur and small-hall professional level has come to a standstill with only the big promoters who have television deals able to continue doing shows and only a small percentage of boxers able to earn a living.
Steve Goodwin Opens up on this, life in lockdown and much more in this exclusive interview.
