Mansfield school of boxing

Building champions in and out the ring.

Mansfield School of Boxing was established by our Founder and CEO of Switch Up, Marcellus Baz BEM, as the second boxing hub under the umbrella of the Marcellus Baz Foundation (charity).

Having opened in 2022, our Mansfield Hub has helped extend our support to the wider county of Nottinghamshire.

Situated in the former River Maun Recreation Centre within the top 1% of areas of multiple deprivation, it provides a safe space for local young people to learn and develop their boxing skills.

Alongside the Mansfield School of Boxing, we run community outreach work as part of the wider Switch Up Community Hub to encourage young people to get involved and help refine and deliver our Five Pillar approach.

Boxing is a sport, and it’s also a mindset. You learn to pick yourself up, learn from mistakes, accept defeat with grace and win with humility.

We’re open to all ability and fitness levels and welcome new starters every week to our family-friendly hub.

It is a brilliant way to get fit and build strength, but it also unlock skills that will serve you for the rest of your life. We develop resilience, confidence and a growth mindset.

It doesn’t matter whether or not you want to become a prize fighter. We’re all about building champions in and out the ring.

Our programmes can help you to:

• Boost health and fitness
• Build self-confidence and self-esteem
• Regulate emotions and mental wellbeing
• Build positive friendships
• Build resilience
• Practice discipline

We have sessions specifically for juniors (6-14 years), adult boxing and fitness for all abilities (14+), and elite carded boxing programmes.

With guidance from our England Boxing-affiliated coaches and positive role models, Mansfield School of Boxing help you to thrive in every area of life.
