    The Solly in Liverpool has always been good.collyhurst gym in Manchester too.
    Both cities have loads of good clubs which have been going for years

    Below are few clubs that always seem to do well and have a good reputation:

    Birtley
    Darlington
    Everton Red Triangle
    Salisbury ABC (Liverpool)
    Rotunda
    Knowsley Vale ABC
    Burmantofts
    Repton
    West Ham
    Dale Youth
    Finchley
    Earlsfield
    Pinewood Starr ABC
    Guildford

    If I was 10 years old and could pick any club in the country to join, I would join either Birtley or Pinewood Starr. Both Clubs have been producing some
    really good lads (from scratch) over the past few years.

    From what I've heard Repton is the most successful club in the country. Salisbury has produced a few commonwealth/Olympians in recent years though

    when I was boxing 40 years those 4 Liverpool clubs were good but there seemed to be dozens and most of the kids were well prepared.they wouldn't put their raw novices in for a first fight unless the lads had been training for a couple of years and could aquit themselves well.
    I have to say the standard of amateur boxing in the UK is vastly superior to when I boxed.in those days anybody could and would go in your corner.
