Maltese Professional Boxer – Clayton “The Punisher” Vella will be leaving Malta this Saturday for a training camp at the renowned TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in London.

Vella who is Malta’s first locally registered professional boxer is 25 years of age and is at the moment preparing for his professional debut.

Before deciding to switch to the professional ranks, Vella was fighting on the Maltese unlicensed boxing circuit, were he built himself a reputation as an aggressive and hard hitting fighter.

Vella is looking forward to his sessions at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym, which was founded by World class boxing coach Johnny Eames and is located in the heart of London's Docklands, at Canning Town.

The TKO first opened it's doors in September 2006, as the home gym for his stable of Eames highly successful professional boxers.

Whilst TRAD TKO Boxing Gym is primarily a gym created for professional boxers and their coaches, Johnny Eames is a firm believer that the gym and it's facilities should be available for all, regardless of age or experience, and as such has a team of World class BBBofC licensed coaches and sports conditioning specialists who are available to assist anyone, whether professional, amateur or those that just want to box for fitness, to achieve their goals.

Recently TRAD TKO BBBofC Coach, Barry Smith was in Malta for two weeks and he held several training sessions with some of Malta’s new professional boxing prospects.

In an interview with ‘Malta Boxing News’ Barry said that he was surprised at the standard and enthusiasm of the Maltese boxers and he looked forward to working further with the local prospects.
