By joining Bristol Boxing Gym you're also supporting young people who need help, through our charity Empire Fighting Chance.

Empire Fighting Chance was born on the streets of Bristol in 2006 to fight the impact of deprivation on young people’s lives. Rising from the Empire Amateur Boxing Club in inner-city Bristol, we have grown to become a multi-regional charity using a pioneering approach that harnesses the power of boxing to transform young lives.

Empire Fighting Chance combine non-contact boxing and intensive personal support to challenge and inspire vulnerable young people to realise their unique potential. We weave in personal support while young people learn to box, using the sport as a platform to mentor, deliver therapy and offer careers support. We now reach around 5,000 young people across South West England and Wales.
