The Heart of Portsmouth Boxing Academy, a local boxing club based in the heart of the City of Portsmouth, is excited to announce an upcoming boxing event that is sure to get your adrenaline pumping! This event, organised by the academy, promises to be an action-packed evening filled with intense bouts and thrilling moments.
Since its establishment in September 2008, the academy has been dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for the youth of Portsmouth. By engaging them in the sport of boxing, the academy aims to keep them away from the streets and instil valuable life skills such as discipline, determination, and teamwork.
At the Heart of Portsmouth Boxing Academy, inclusivity is at the forefront of their values. Regardless of gender, ability, age, or fitness level, everyone is welcome to join and become part of this tight-knit community. Through close collaboration with the city council and other youth organisations, the academy has successfully created a place where everyone can feel a sense of achievement and self-worth.
The academy offers a wide range of sessions catering to different groups. Inclusive sessions are designed specifically for boxers with disabilities, allowing them to participate in boxing and work towards their Boxing Awards. For senior beginners, there are dedicated sessions aimed at increasing confidence, developing courage, and fostering a sense of belonging to a community club. Juniors, on the other hand, can enjoy fun and engaging sessions that help them get fit, shed those extra pounds, make new friends, and even work towards their GB National Boxing Awards.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. The academy regularly organises special events that showcase the skills and talent of its boxers. One such event is the Tri-Nation Championships, where boxers from England, Scotland, and Wales compete against each other in a thrilling display of sportsmanship and determination. In 2018, the academy's boxers Xian Blackman-Price, Sony Driscoll, and Kerry Davis shone brightly, with Blackman-Price securing a Bronze medal and Driscoll and Davis proudly taking home the Gold.
Furthermore, the academy hosts a medal night exclusively for senior beginners, where participants can earn their Bronze Award by demonstrating various boxing techniques. This event is made possible through the support of the Police Crime Commissioner of Hampshire, who generously funds the program. Additionally, the academy actively participates in the England Boxing Open Talent Day, a Talent Development Camp that brings together some of the finest boxers in the country for a day of intense training and skill refinement.
To make things even more convenient for boxing enthusiasts, the academy's sister company, Hurricane Sports, offers a wide selection of high-quality boxing equipment. Whether you need gloves, bags, or protective gear, Hurricane Sports has got you covered.
