ULTIMATE BOXING CLUB – A club for boxers who are actively sparring, competing or hoping to compete through the England Boxing (ABAE) system. Very strict discipline level, very strict code of conduct.

The Ultimate Boxing Club is where boxers can learn their craft and either go as far as they can as an amateur boxer or eventually progress into BBBofC licensed professional boxing and follow in the footsteps of Craig Poxton – Lowestoft’s history making former super featherweight southern area champion.

England Boxing is the national governing body for amateur boxing. Competition ranges from novice club shows to the National Championships and beyond.

Our amateur boxing squad has members from our Lowestoft and Beccles gyms and there will be regular trips either way to gain in house sparring experience at either location. We also travel to other England Boxing affiliated clubs in the region and welcome clubs to visit us.

The road to success:

Our boxing club team consists of England Boxing Level 2 coach / BBBofC professional trainer Matt Smith along with Level 2 coach Hamish Adkins and Level 1 coaches Zak Williams and  Andy Maxwell. Our former pro’ boxer and Level 1 coach Craig Poxton  is also involved in helping out and sparring with the senior boxers when work and family life allows.

The team is focused on taking boxers as far as possible in the sport.

Gym owner Matt Smith has held a British Boxing Board of Control licence as a professional trainer / corner man since 2011. With Matt as his trainer and guidance from manager Graham Everett, Lowestoft’s Craig Poxton made history when he became the town’s first pro boxing champion. He won the super featherweight southern area title in 2017, beating the highly rated Boy Jones Junior via a 10th round KO in a bout that was shortlisted for fight of the year. Craig also boxed for the English title and WBO European title. He has now retired as a boxer after an amazing career. His roofing company C Poxton Roofing and young family keep him very busy these days. He is a qualified Level 1 England Boxing coach and works with our amateur boxers when time allows.

We have a strong link with the ‘Professional Boxing Training and Management’ camp in Norwich and other amateur boxing clubs in the Eastern Counties. We are never short of good quality sparring and chances to box on the many well organised shows in the region and further afield.
