Bridgnorth Boxing Academy is a volunteer run boxing club, the only one of its kind in Bridgnorth. We are based at Hiveworks, Grove Crescent Bridgnorth.
Since our start in October 2019 we have had well over 100 participants through the door across our sessions and we have also run a number of taster sessions in schools and community youth projects.
We also run satellite clubs within school settings with the focus to support children and young people with re-engaging with education.
Our goal is to promote and provide the opportunity for individuals of all ages and ability to access the sport of boxing. Bridgnorth Boxing Academy is committed to providing a welcoming and nurturing environment for individuals to learn the basics of boxing whether that is for fun, fitness or with the aspirations to box competitively in the future.
In 2022 we would like to continue to grow the club and offer boxing to more members than ever before, as well as continuing to improve the facilities at the club to achieve our goal of affiliating with England Boxing to continue our progression towards offering Amateur Boxing in Bridgnorth.

Age: 45
Favourite Boxer: Mikaela Mayer, Katie Taylor, Anthony Joshua and Vladimir Klitschko
Why Boxing: My dad loved watching boxing when I was a kid so I always watched with him, I started boxing for fitness at the age of 37 but then got interested in the technique, strategy and discipline. I retired from competitive boxing, undefeated, after 4 fights, in March 2019. I have turned to coaching as I have witnessed first hand the positive influence sport and boxing has on young people, not only that but because of boxing I am fitter now than I was in my teens and 20’s so want to give back to the sport that gave me so much.
