Southend Boxing Club, also known as England Boxing, is a prestigious boxing gym located in Southend-on-Sea, England. With a rich history dating back to circa 1914, the club has been a cornerstone of the local boxing community for over a century.
Originally led by the legendary Eugene Corri, a hall of fame referee who revolutionised the sport of boxing, the club and its members have a strong tradition of boxing excellence. Despite facing the challenges presented by both World Wars, the club continued to thrive and produce national champions under the guidance of renowned coach Pat O'Keefe, who took charge in 1948.
At Southend Boxing Club, the coaches are England Boxing trained and certified, DBS checked, and qualified in first aid. This ensures that members receive top-notch instruction in the noble art of boxing, with their well-being and safety being of utmost importance. The club prides itself on delivering excellence both in and out of the ring.
