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
A world where young people have the power to shape their futures through boxing

"Boxing can take people off the streets",
but at Boxing is Love, we ask
"where to?"

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.
