With
both a unique history and an exemplary record in the
sport, Repton Boxing Club is still very much part of
it's original Bethnal Green roots in London's East End.
The Boxing Club grew out of Repton Boys Club, which was
was established in 1884 by Repton Public School as a way
of giving support and encouragement to the young men in
one of the country's poorest communities.
It is now housed in an atmospheric former Victorian Bath
House, where boxers from the area and, indeed, many
miles away train in pursuit of emmulating the club's
fighters who have proved themselves continually
successful both nationally and internationally, and from
schoolboy level to that of Olympic Gold and World
Champion; boxers such as John H Stracey, Audley
Harrison, Maurice Hope, Gary Barker, Sylvester Mitte and
Tony Cesay.
Repton offers the finest coaching for both seniors and
juniors, from beginner's level upwards, compete as a
club throughout the year at various events both in the
UK and abroad, while the venue itself has been regularly
used for tv, film and magazine shoots.
