ORB Recruitment is sponsoring Doncaster boxer Jake Goodwin as he bids to extend his undefeated record in the ring later this month.
Goodwin, 24, will top the bill when he fights at The Dome in Doncaster on Saturday, February 25.
The local boxer, who will fight at Super-Welterweight, won two national titles as an amateur. In turning professional, he fulfilled a dream he had had since first putting on the gloves aged 10.
Jake said: “Getting sponsorships from companies such as ORB is huge for supporting my career as it financially helps me to train more, travel to sparring, training and fights and purchase new fight kit as well as training equipment. Without sponsorship it would be very difficult to progress in my career.
“My boxing ambitions are to win a British title, to defend it outright (three times) then go on to become a world champion from Doncaster.
"I want to say a massive thank you to ORB Recruitment for choosing to back me and sponsor my upcoming fight.”
The sponsorship is the latest example of ORB’s commitment to the local community. Last year, the company extended a deal to sponsor local football team FC Doncaster, having previously stepped in to pay the lease on the club’s ground.
ORB also donated a minibus to a Doncaster specialist college last year and gave £2,500 to support a campaign that promotes creative work with Doncaster’s deaf artists and young people. In December, ORB donated £1,000 to the Lighthouse Homes charity to support homeless people in Rotherham over Christmas.
Stewart Olsen, Group CEO of ORB Recruitment, said: “We are passionate about supporting local causes, including teams and athletes representing the local community, and are thrilled to be sponsoring Jake’s upcoming fight at The Dome.
“We will all be cheering Jake on and hope he can deliver a knockout blow and take another step in his hugely promising career.”
