The club trains dozens of young people, including females.<\/p>\n
And, despite Burns passing, staff at the club said his legacy at Repton lives on.<\/p>\n
“I still think Tony’s here. I still shout hello to him when I come in,” said chairman David Robinson. <\/p>\n
A member of the club for 51 years, Robinson first boxed himself, then brought his son, and for the past 37 years has been the chairman.<\/p>\n
“All these boys here have respect. Total respect. We put it in them, they have to respect people and that will stay with them for the rest of their life.”<\/p>\n
“Wherever you go in the world – Italy, America, Africa – you mention the name Repton, you have it,” he continued.<\/p>\n
“You put on a [Repton] vest in Spain, Greece, anywhere, someone will know you, we’re that important to everyone in amateur boxing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The club trains dozens of young people, including females.
