Balham Boxing Club, founded by Winston Fuller in 1988, is a renowned Boxing Club located in London on Cavendish Road. Initially starting at the back of his cab office, the club quickly gained popularity and had to move to a larger venue in 1992, known as The Park Tavern pub in Streatham, which is now called The Furzedown. Unfortunately, after three years, The Park Tavern had to close down, but Balham Boxing Club continued to fight and found a new suitable venue called Hildreth Mews Market. Here, the club thrived and trained boxers successfully for another three years.
In 1998, developers took over the Hildreth Mews Market site, and once again, Balham Boxing Club had to close its doors. However, the club didn't give up and returned to its roots on Cavendish Road in Balham, where it all started. The club has been situated in the building formerly known as the Triangle Youth Club since 2008. What sets Balham Boxing Club apart is its strong family-run organisation.
All staff members are volunteers who had previous involvement with the club before becoming part of the team. This dedication to the club's success and the family ethos creates a welcoming and supportive environment for all members.
