Personal Background
Terry Riley grew up on the Ford estate in Litherland, a relatively small area in the north of Liverpool. Terry was an avid amateur boxer who trained at the Rotunda ABC during his younger years. In 1985, he won three titles, the Schools ABA Championship, Junior ABA Championship and NABC Championship, becoming the first youth boxer to win all three in the same year. Following an eye injury, Terry hung up his gloves and transitioned to a career within the property sector.
Despite his professional ambitions ending, boxing plays an essential role in Terry’s life. In 2016, he backed an initiative to develop the amateur boxing scene. Terry joined forces with local firm King Construction and professional boxer Tony Bellew to provide significant funding for the initiative. Thousands of youngsters benefitted from coaching, club sessions, events and coaching qualifications.
On the 2016 initiative, Terry said: “I had 20 fights that year, and I won 20 fights. It was a good season for me. There are 61 boxing clubs locally, which includes thousands of kids, and I just feel as if I’m giving something back. This club (Rotunda ABC) saved me as a kid. It really did. I’m in a position where I can help now, so it’s the least I can do.”
Away from working hard on property projects, Terry Riley enjoys spending his spare time supporting young boxers and being with his grandchildren.
