Boxing Road Trip: What Gyms Would You Go To?

I wouldnt do the U.K.

If I ever get the chance to go back to L.A its the Wildcard gym all the way for me baby.

 

Have I got a passport in this scenario?

 

Repton
West Ham
Birtley
Burmantofts
Darlington
City of Hull
Gemini
Golden Ring
Sunderland
South bank
Earlsfield
Knowlsley Vale
Macclesfield
Wellington
Dale Youth
Heart of Portsmouth
Rutunda
Guillford
Everton Red Triangle
Bury
St Marys

of the top of my head all these clubs do very well year after year but their are plenty of other clubs that have their own techniques and historical significance and there are also a lot of new clubs popping up all over.

 

For Petes sake, thats that posh bit coming out in me again


I'd like to visit Khan's gym, Hatton's gym, the one in Liverpool maybe go to Wales then the one that Mitchell trains in.

Plus once my new ride comes it will be in the drop top sorry guys loaded with coal as my wee niece told today :rofl

Anyways, start down in camp Calzaghe and then over to Vinceypoos (for logistical reasons) and then probably down the M4 to the TKO, then some Am gyms in that area. After London, up the M1 and M6 to Manchester to see Joe G and Arnie, then across to Yorkshire to see the Ingle gym then finally up further north to see Billy's gym.

Also, I'd stop off to see the Olympics training place for boxing - Yorkshire?

 

Sheffield

 

Chris Sanigars and Joe Gallaghers.

 

Is it for a particular reason as some gyms are very picky about letting people just come in and use their facilities. A lot of them are very cliquey and don't like outsiders coming in without sussing them out first. If you come up here to the North East mate send me a PM and I'll sort you out a list of the clubs you can go to and which ones are best for coaching or for the crack as well.

 

No probs mate, I had to go through a load of problems regarding gyms when i did the magazine but once they realise that your alright then they are generally cool with you. i know most of the coaches so I could have a word for you if you do come up. I think if your generally interested in boxing and have good reasons to be there they will all be good, they just get a lot of idiots through the doors from local papers etc so i can understand them being a bit dubious.

It would be best doing it early season as well so they don't think your a spy and a lot gyms close down from May to September too.

 

Start with Ronnie Davies in Brighton upto the TKO in Canning Town in East London then upto Hall Green to work with Frankie Gavins current coach before moving along to sheffield to work with howard rainey, then id head to Manchester to work with Joe Gallagher and then to Northside ABC before ending up at Kevin Marees gym in Blackpool.
