Oldham Boxing and Personal Development Centre

At The Finest in Manchester, Oldham’s GB Boxer Kyle Tullin to get some valuable rounds in with two of our former Oldham boxers Jack and Tom Rafferty who are currently having very successful professional careers.

Thanks to trainer and experienced coach Steve Maylet for the invite, looking forward to some more sparring in the future!

Don’t forget Wednesday night Wrestling!!!

And with that, our final (very hot!) week of HAF is finished. We had a great time handing out medals to the kids today. See you all next year! As always, our young people had the opportunity to engage in a plethora of activities alongside boxing which included drama ,art  to name two. All this whilst watching Team England bring home Gold Medals in the Commonwealth Games!

Two years ago today, two of our young prospects made the trip to spar the formidable future superstar of boxing, Ben Whittaker.
Those rounds were more than just sparring they were an opportunity to test themselves against one of the very best and, importantly, to learn.
Fast forward two years and both lads have gone on to win National titles, international gold medals and earn places on Team GB!
That’s the power of aspiration, opportunity and believing in the journey. You never know where one round, one session or one opportunity might take you

As always we utilise our centre for the whole of Greater Manchester and Oldham and last Saturday it was an absolute thrill to have Dare To Know’s TV & Film talks at our gym. Who presented a full day of talks from industry experts in TV & Film. The event went amazingly, (thanks to Fox & Pine for the drinks) and it’s a testament on how diverse the talent is in Oldham, whether in the ring or on on the silver screen!

Mentoring isn’t something we simply talk about at Oldham Boxing & Personal Development Centre it’s embedded in our DNA.

It was a particularly proud moment to see Will Cawley, our first National Senior GB Champion, passing on his knowledge and experience to Kyle Shaw Tullin, our latest Senior Champion and GB representative.

Almost ten years separate their achievements, but boxing has brought them together in a way that goes far beyond the ring.

Will has travelled the road that Kyle is now travelling the highs, the challenges, the sacrifices and the expectations that come with representing your country.
Now, that experience is being passed down.

From one champion to another. From one generation to the next.This is what our mentoring philosophy is all about: ensuring that the lessons learned along the journey don’t stop with the individual, but are shared to help others go further.

Today's champion can become tomorrow’s mentor.
