KIRKHAM A.B.C A name that carries History, Champion’s and an ever lasting legacy. Originally located in the old Sam Betts gym in the 1990’s early 2000’s now called ‘Kirkham box’ ironically. The boxing gym moved to where most people knew it as ‘2AM’ in 2002(ish). There coaches Frank Ellis, Eric Metcalf & Steve Davis tirelessly volunteered many hours teaching the skill and bulletproof mindset of high level boxing creating many national champions and elite boxers including our very own Coaches Adam Little, Cameron Singer & Tyrone Bowen Price to name a few. The club was built on community, success and hard work with a do or die approach to training and competing - which ultimately made us become winners. Fast forward 20 years and now the young boxers of yesterday are the coaches of today, re-igniting the flame of amateur boxing in Kirkham. We have had our first representative of KIRKHAM A.B.C 12 year old Joey Dunn who embodies the Kirkham attitude and discipline it takes to be a champion. Here’s to many more to come from the new age KIRKHAM A.B.C!

Another solid week ticked off at A.L Combat Gym.
We welcomed the team from in for some quality rounds — proper learning sparring and exactly the kind of work that pushes everyone up a level. Midweek we got a little ‘Hollywood’ as BBC News came down to interview some of our young fighters about their upcoming competitions and how the gym’s helping shape them both in and out of boxing… safe to say a few lads are adjusting well to their new celeb status already 🎥😂 Great experience for them though — cameras, interviews and pressure are all part of the journey nowadays.
We rounded the week off with a trip to for more intense rounds ahead of upcoming bouts, finishing by watching professionals and go to work over 6 hard rounds — a priceless lesson seeing high-level boxing up close.
Different environments, different challenges, constant progression. That’s how we do things here. Always learning, always testing, always moving forward. Proud of every single person putting the work in this week. Great to see everyone improving week in, week out 🙌🏼👊🏼.
