Go the distance
It doesn’t matter if you’re a seasoned boxer or putting on gloves for the first time, Royal Navy boxing welcomes everyone to train and enjoy the sport at their own pace.
Many boxers in the Royal Navy begin at unit level and can progress to represent the Royal Navy in Inter-Service Championships. You can start training locally with regular coaching sessions to keep you on track and enhance your skills. Most bases and training locations have boxing facilities, while portable kits and structured programmes help keep you active while away on deployment.
For those interested in the management of matches, we offer pathways for development and training in coaching, refereeing, and judging.
Boxing in the Royal Navy isn’t just about champions in the ring. It’s about joining a community that nurtures your confidence, fitness, and well-being.
