Empire Fighting Chance is helping colleges harness the power of boxing to support student wellbeing, engagement and personal development through its Box Champions training programme.

The programme equips college staff with the skills, confidence and resources needed to deliver boxing-inspired activities alongside psychologically informed mentoring. By embedding the approach into existing student support and enrichment programmes, colleges can create sustainable opportunities that help young people build resilience, overcome challenges and achieve their potential.

Each year, Empire Fighting Chance supports thousands of young people through programmes that combine physical activity with mentoring and wellbeing support. The Box Champions training enables colleges to bring this proven model directly to their students, creating lasting impact across their communities.
