A Leeds boxing club linked by police to a vicious assault which left a man with “serious injuries” has cancelled a planned event after officers objected.
Halton Moor Amateur Boxing Club, in east Leeds, was accused at a public hearing last year of failing to help a criminal investigation, after two men were attacked at the venue in 2021.
The wife of one of the victims was also allegedly dragged across a neighbouring garden by her hair as the assaults continued outside the premises in October that year. No one has been charged with the offences, with West Yorkshire Police claiming a “cloud of fear” reigned over the club, which hindered their enquiries.
