Why box?
Boxing is a dynamic sport that offers something for everyone, regardless of age or experience. With its focus on technique, focus, and resilience, boxing not only strengthens the body but also sharpens the mind, making it a rewarding and accessible sport for individuals of all ages.
- For children and teens, boxing helps build physical strength, coordination, and self-discipline, while fostering a sense of confidence and respect.
- For adults, it’s an excellent way to stay fit, reduce stress, and improve cardiovascular health. Boxing’s combination of strength training and aerobic exercise also aids in weight management and enhances overall well-being.
- For people aged 12-40 who want to compete, boxing offers a structured and regulated arena where individuals can test themselves and strive to be their best
- Even for older adults, boxing provides benefits like improved balance, mental clarity, and muscle tone, while promoting a sense of well-being and accomplishment.

Our affiliation to England Boxing
England Boxing is the National Governing Body for Olympic-style Boxing in England. It covers all levels of boxing from schools and juniors up to the elite levels of the amateur sport.
Olympic-style boxing focuses on skill and precision, adhering to unique rules and scoring systems that distinguish the sport from professional boxing.
As well as setting out how competitions must be run and managed, the regulations cover the safety and welfare of boxers of all ages and levels.
As an affiliated club, The Boxing Laboratory will always maintain the high standards required by England Boxing.
What about White Collar Boxing?
We do NOT promote or support or take any part in White Collar Boxing!
Participants in White Collar Boxing Events are inexperienced individuals who receive brief training with a view to them taking part in commercially organised boxing bouts, often black tie events raising money for charity but requiring participants to sell minimum numbers of tickets to friends and colleagues.
Although popular, these events are unregulated and unlicensed, officials do not have to be qualified, and there are no fixed safety standards.
White Collar Boxing has been associated with several deaths as well as serious injuries.
