Boxing is Love

That’s why we begin by reaching, engaging, and connecting with some of the most disadvantaged young people through boxing. From their passion for the sport, we inspire them to reimagine what’s possible for their future, in education and careers.

VISION

We often hear the phrase

"Boxing can take people off the streets",

but at Boxing is Love, we ask

"where to?"

We don't play boxing

LATEST CAMPAIGN

Mental Health Awareness Month

May, 2025

According to Mind, one in four people in the UK are affected by mental health problems. Mental health is a universal issue, and athletes are no exception.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re sharing research, real stories from amateur boxers and coaches, and highlighting resources to show how boxing supports mental wellbeing and transforms lives.

WORDS FROM JEN

Her dedication to the sport, and the care she brings to every young person she works with, is a powerful reminder of why coaches matter so deeply.

RESEARCH SHARING

At Boxing is Love, we tirelessly work to make knowledge and research more accessible through the lenses of boxing. Knowledge should not be locked behind academic jargon, and all young people deserve to learn through what they love and for us, that love is Boxing.
