Boxer Milch claims fourth professional win

Light middleweight boxer Tony Milch maintained his 100 percent winning start to his professional career when he beat Ben Robinson at the Camden Centre.

Up against a heavier opponent, his 39-37 points win was all the more satisfying given that he boxed the majority of the fight with a broken hand which he sustained early on in the fight.

Reflecting on his latest win, he told jewishnews.co.uk: “The fight was great, it was good to be in there with a strong heavier opponent, to impose my skills [on him] and to get the win.

“I suffered the injury after a fast start, it was metacarpal damage on my left hand which made it tougher to get good solid shots off. It’s a classic boxer’s fracture and will set me back a month or so in terms of training and a fight schedule. But I was happy that I remained composed through the fight and delivered.”

Saying he’s extremely happy with how his fledgling professional career has gone to date, and looking to hopefully next box a six-round contest, he says: “I’m averaging a fight every couple of months and have been developing my skill set throughout. I was hoping to box next in April back at the Camden Centre, but due to the injury, May is now more realistic.”

Engaging

Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.

Celebrating

There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.

Pioneering

In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.

Campaigning

Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Easy access

In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.

Voice of our community to wider society

The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.

We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
