During his time at Collyhurst, Ken had over 90 amateur contest winning most before turning professional. After retiring from competitive boxing in 1985, Ken established Clayton Amateur Boxing in Bank St Laundry. The club boasted three North West Champions. In 1990 he set up AFC Clayton with Bob Kelly. AFC Clayton are still going strong today. In 2003, Ken formed East Manchester Harriers at Sportcity and is currently working to establish the East Manchester Community Boxing & Athletics Club in Ardwick. East Manchester Harriers were the first club to stage a major road race event at Sportcity, Manchester. Events Ken has promoted include the "B of the Bang" 10k and The City 5k and numerous amateur boxing shows. Ken came full circle this year when he formed a new boxing club in a railway arch. The Mancunian Amateur Boxing Club - Long Champs opened its doors on the 1st May 2009.
