Boxing in the Royal Navy

Amateur boxing in the 21st century is a vibrant and healthy sport that attracts rising numbers of converts, both as participants and supporters. It’s a great competitive activity, good for fitness and accessible to all. The Royal Navy and Royal Marines have a long history of competitive boxing, and we have a proven track record in helping our servicemen and women achieve sporting success right up to international level.
