Staff at Gasan Mamo Insurance got a taste of boxing when they joined a team of professional trainers from I and J Fitness Team in Mosta for an energy-driven training session. The event was made possible through Gasan Mamo's sponsorship of the boxing club.

After the session, one of the employees said: "Although the perception is that boxing is an aggressive sport, if practised in a professional environment athletes will gain stamina, body toning and weight control. Apart from being great fun, it is also a stress reliever."

Gasan Mamo Insurance director Julian Mamo said the aim of the sponsorship and the boxing session for employees was to help the club promote the sport and give employees the opportunity to try their hands at a sport they had never tried before.

The club takes part in several boxing and philanthropic events in Malta and abroad.

This year, the Scottish national team and French boxers from various clubs took part in a training camp in Malta.
