PADDY Brennan's Boxing Academy and Fitness Centre has been given the seal of approval from a paralympic archer.

Danielle Brown, who won gold in the women's individual compound at both the Beijing and London Paralympic Games, is set to get behind the "inclusive" initiative that Brennan has started.

Brennan is the founder of Tenbury Amateur Boxing Club and has helped rehabilitate offenders after extending the Bluestone Centre in Bleathwood.

The programme helps get them back on the straight and narrow by offering them vocational courses,. as well as residential accommodation.

Brown, who is a three-time world champion, recently visited the facility and there are plans for her to become a director.

"Danielle wants to get involved and back the initiative," said Brennan.

"She was absolutely fantastic and she will be doing some inspirational talking for us.

"She was the first disabled athlete to represent England in an able-bodied discipline and currently holds all 12 paralympic world record.

"She is off to New Zealand for three months because she has got interests over there, but she will be on the board of directors when she comes back."

Michael Hogan, the High Sheriff of Worcestershire, has also stated that he wants to get involved with the centre.

"He wants me to talk about boxing and the rehabilitation centre," said Brennan.

"He wants to get involved with the centre and the boxing, which is great news.

"There is a lot of good things happening here."

Brennan also confirmed that the club's next dinner show will be on March 20, with a venue yet to be set.

Four of his fighters, Dan and James Austin, James Henry and Liz Williams are also set to compete at an event in Birmingham on November 8.
