The England Boxing organisation has a history dating back to 1880 which makes it one of the oldest sporting governing bodies in the world.
England Boxing is the official amateur boxing governing body in the UK with over 1,000 registered clubs and over 25,000 active members.
The organisation annually holds regional and national competitions for both male and female boxers. To win a national title is a great accomplishment and a proud moment for any boxer, their coaches, and the club.
Most the country’s top boxers have worked their way up through the amateur code onto national, international competitions and the Olympic Games.
Many of these boxers have turned into successful professional fighters and are often household names.

Billy Schwer – Luton, welterweight World Champion
Darren Barker – Barnet, middleweight World Champion, and DAZN Boxing pundit
Billy Joe Saunders –Hatfield, 2012 Olympic Bronze Medallist, Middleweight and Super Middleweight World Champion
