Their new line, Storefront Boxing Club, features three colour of a heavyweight hoodie as well as T-shirts, caps and a jacket. The store will be launching this new collection today at 18:00 in their physical store in Waterloo Street, Derry.

This new collection is dedicated to the memory of an Irish boxing icon hailing from Storefront’s hometown of Derry. Billy “Spider” Kelly was an Irish boxer from Derry, a town rich in its love for fighting. A “humble” man from a working class background, he won the 1952 Commonwealth featherweight title and the following year he seized the British featherweight title. Billy passed away in 2010 with a record of 56 wins and 24 defeats.

Storefront dedicated this collection to him as a reminder to people of the town and to educate others of this man’s accolades and what he did for boxing in Northern Ireland.
