White collar
boxing in London.
Eight weeks of free boxing coaching for beginners, then a real fight on a professional show. You don't need to have thrown a punch before. Most of our fighters hadn't.
What is white
collar boxing?
White collar boxing is boxing for people with day jobs and little or no fight experience. You train for eight weeks, get matched with someone of a similar age, weight and experience, and fight on a professional show in full protective kit.
With The White Collar Fight Club, the coaching is free. You train twice a week at Gymbox Victoria, raise money for a cause you care about, and finish with your own ring walk in front of the people who backed you.
We have run camps in London since 2017. More than 4,500 people have been through the ring since 2018, and our fighters have raised more than £690,000 for charity.
Who it's for
- Complete beginners. 85% of our fighters started with less than three months' experience
- Anyone 18 or over by fight night. There's no upper age limit
- People who want a goal, not just a gym membership
- Anyone who wants to raise money for a cause that matters to them
Eight weeks,
start to finish
Every fighter follows the same programme, coached from your first stance to your fight plan.
| Week | Focus | What you work on |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Foundations | Assessment, stance, guard and footwork. Jab and cross. Basic defence. |
| 2 | Attack and defence | Hook and first combinations. Blocking, parrying and head movement. |
| 3 | Distance and reactions | Controlling range, entries and exits, counters. First controlled sparring. |
| 4 | Under pressure | Defence into counter, ring position, corner escapes. Matchmaking begins. |
| 5 | Ring craft | Ring control, pacing three 2-minute rounds, simple tactics. Team sparring. |
| 6 | Fight simulation | Spar your proposed opponent in simulated bouts. Corner work. Matches signed off. |
| 7 | Sharpening | Your fight plan, best combinations, technical sparring only. The fight card drops. |
| 8 | Fight week | Light pads and movement, weigh-in and team briefing. Then fight night. |
Plus an optional Strength & Conditioning session on Saturdays at 13:30. See the full fight camp programme.
