HINTS
|
- If you a serious
about taking up boxing, it is a
good idea to find yourself a
trainer. Professional tuition
can be expensive but even a
one-off introductory session
with a trainer will give you a
flavour of the sport. You can
then decide if you want to take
things further.
- Boxing
can be dangerous, so it is
important that you ensure your
trainer has insurance and a
solid training background.
Better still, try to find
someone who is certified by an
established boxing organisation.
-
Finding a trainer is a job which
should not be rushed. The ideal
candidate will be able to advise
you on nutrition and lifestyle
as well as techniques and
equipment. The relationship
between boxer and trainer should
be one of mutual respect.
-
Recommendations are often the
best way to find someone
suitable. Remember to do your
research - check out other
clients and find out his or her
experiences as well as
references.
- Boxing
gyms can point you in the
direction of a trainer. These
are gyms dedicated to the sport,
and the exercise, fitness and
practice required to excel.
These specialist gyms can also
offer advice, and going to a gym
regularly is a great way to meet
and train with boxing
enthusiasts of all levels.

History of
British Boxing
Boxing’s
origins lie in the historical willingness of
to men to line up face to face, bare knuckle
and punch one another for reasons that vary
widely but include honour, anger and monetary
gain. However, boxing has also long been a
sport with matches held for entertainment as
well as competition.
Boxing and Britain have a very long
association. References to fist fighting
litter British literary works. Way back in
1681 there is a mention of a boxing match in
the Protestant Mercury, a London newspaper.
The Royal Theatre in London held regular
boxing matches way back in 1698. Fist fighting
was even considered something of a gentleman’s
pursuit in the past, King George was a great
fan along with many of his noblemen. The King
set up a boxing ring in Hyde Park in 1723.
Then, in 1719 a fighter called James Figg
entered the ring and brought with him
considerable skill and tactics and these were
to revolutionise the game. Figg was an expert
fencer and had retired decorated and unbeaten
in 1730. He then set up a booth at Southwark
Fair where he would challenge all comers to
bouts. He is also credited with the
establishment of a boxing academy, the first
of its kind anywhere in the world. After
almost 300 fights James Figg passed away in
1734.
It was during this time that boxing began to
develop towards the type of fighting we would
recognise in a ring today as professional
boxing. Back then fights were still brutal,
and rules were few and far between. Champion
boxers were very hard men indeed and they took
a lot of very real physical punishment in the
ring.
James Figg had a pupil called John ‘Jack’
Broughton. He became champion from 1729 to
1750 and was known as the father of English
boxing. Broughton laid down some basic rules
for boxing to try and organise what was still
pretty much a free for all in the ring. In
1734, the same year he set out his first set
of boxing rules, he established a school known
as Broughton’s Amphitheatre in Oxford Road,
near Oxford Street . Broughton’s rules
advocated breaks for a man down and the use of
gloves, but only in training. Despite his long
stand in a brutal sport, Broughton died at the
ripe old age of 86 at Walcot Place in Lambeth
. As a Yeoman of the Guard at Westminster
Abbey , Broughton was buried in the West
Cloister there along with his wife Elizabeth.
Daniel Mendoza, another London boxer, was
champion from 1791 to 1795. He also taught the
art of boxing at his Mendoza School where he
put greater emphasis on footwork, sparring and
counter punching than had previously been used
in boxing. His work helped move boxing on from
brutal brawls to more sophisticated fighting,
closer to the much more tactical professional
boxing of today.
The 1800s were good years for British fighters
with many claiming the World Title including
James Burke, Tom Cribb, Jem Mace and Jim
Belcher. This was the most important era of
boxing because of the introduction of the
Queensbury Rules. Boxing moved away from an
ugly brawling spectacle that was at the time
more like wrestling with a few punches thrown.
It became the admittedly still brutal but more
graceful game that it is today. The Queensbury
Rules of 1867 helped to bring sporting
behaviour, tactics, and sophistication into
boxing.
Included in the package of changes brought in
by the Queensbury Rules were the now familiar
three minute rounds. Mauling, holding and
general wrestling moves were disallowed. A ten
second count on knockouts and the use of
gloves in fights as well as practice were also
introduced. This revolutionary update laid the
foundations of modern boxing which evolved on
the basis of fair effort formed by The
Queensbury Rules.

Despite being at the fore of
boxing development, British boxers
were losing their grip on the World
Title. By the end of the 1800s as the
Americans started to take more
interest in the sport and were
enjoying most of the success. Although
Britain struggled to make heavyweight
champions they did enjoy numerous
victories and titles in the lighter
classes. During the early 1900s the UK
produced fighters like George ‘Digger’
Stanley (World Bantemweight Champion
1910), Bill Ladbury (World Flyweight
Champion 1913) and Teddy Baldock
(World Bantamweight Champion 1927).
Later in the century Britain enjoyed
some Olympic success including in 1956
when East London boxer Terry Spinks
won the flyweight gold in Melbourne.
The list of British fighters who
managed to claim titles during the
20th century includes such boxing
legends as Loyd Honeyghan,
Welterweight 1986; Nigel Benn ,
Middleweight 1990, 1992-96; Chris
Eubank , Middleweight 1990-91,
1991-95; Frank Bruno , Heavyweight
1995-1996.
Britain finally got
firmly to the top of boxing again with
the success of Lennox Lewis ,
Heavyweight champion in 1993-1994,
1997-2001, 2001-2004. While other
fighters like Bruno had managed to
claim a world title belt, Lewis did it
with the style and consistency of a
true world champion. One of Lennox’s
greatest claims to fame is his defeat
of the great Mike Tyson in 2002 with
an eighth round knock down.
Boxers love to collect belts. They
don’t need them to keep their trousers
up they are the trophies that come
with success in the world of boxing.
One such coveted belt is the Lonsdale
Belt, the oldest belt in boxing. The
belt gets its name from former patron
of the National Sporting Club Lord
Lonsdale and was started in 1909. The
belt is awarded to the winner in each
British weight division each year. Any
boxer who can do this three times in a
row can keep the handcrafted belt with
its intricate and expensive enamel and
gold finishing.
The first boxer to receive the belt
was Freddie Walsh who was awarded it
in 1909 for winning the British
lightweight title. The first
heavyweight to take the title was
‘Bombadier’ Billy Wells. The boxer
from London’s East End received the
belt in 1911 when he knocked out
opponent Ian Hague in the sixth round.
British hero Henry Cooper won three
Lonsdale Belts outright during his
career! Earlier belts, like the belt
won by Billy Wells, were made to a
higher standard, using 22 carat gold.
His belt is kept at The Royal
Artillery Barracks in Woolwich , South
London, but is unfortunately not on
public display.
Sir
Henry Cooper, OBE achieved notable
fame despite also never winning a
world title. He became known as ‘Our
Henry’, a reference to his Cockney
upbringing and was a superstar both
as a boxer and as a celebrity.

Cooper did manage to floor
Muhammed Ali at Wembley Stadium during
a non-title fight. Ali went down in
the fourth round after being hit by
the left hook known in the business as
‘Enry’s ‘Ammer. Ali got up, recovered
and subsequently won the fight. But
Ali later said that Cooper had hit him
so hard “his ancestors in Africa had
felt it”.
Frank Bruno achieved similar
all-round success as a media celebrity
and fighter as Henry Cooper before
had. Like Henry Cooper he came across
as a people’s fighter, simple,
likeable and hard working. However
Bruno got something Cooper never did,
a world title. Bruno only held the
title for a short while after
defeating Oliver McCall over 12
rounds. Mike Tyson took the title back
from Bruno after a third round
knockout. It was Bruno’s last fight.
Britain enjoyed great
successes in the lower weight
divisions, boxers like Nigel Benn
dominated their classes. Benn came
onto the professional boxing scene in
1987, winning 22 consecutive fights.
He became known as the “dark
Destroyer’ because of his explosive
fighting displays. He won world titles
at both Middleweight and Super
Middleweight level. Unfortunately,
Benn’s career reached a low point
after a vicious fight with Gerald
McClellan. Benn was knocked out of the
ring in the first round but fought
back in a gritty and brutal fight that
eventually left McClellan severely
injured. The fighter remains unable to
see, 80% deaf and partially paralysed
due to injuries sustained in the
fight.
One
of British Boxing’s most colourful
fighters is Brighton based Chris
Eubank. After a childhood spent in
poverty growing up in Hackney and
Peckham , Eubank moved to the Bronx
with his mother and joined a gym. By
1984 he was winning amateur boxing
titles. But the trouble that was to
feature in his life was already in
evidence the next year when he
seemed to bite an opponent’s
shoulder during a fight.
Eubank’s
career was also blighted by tragedy.
In 1981 he met Michael Watson in
another gruelling contest between
two equally brilliant and determined
fighters at Tottenham ’s White Hart
Lane in North London. Late in the
fight Eubank looked beaten on
points, but he rose from the canvas
in the 11th round to deliver some
brutal punches to Watson. The fight
went on to the 12th round but Watson
soon collapsed afterwards and
entered a coma. Watson also suffered
partial paralysis and hearing
problems as a result of the injuries
he sustained in the fight. Eubank
seemed to lose the desire to fight
after this bout and as a result he
never really achieved his true
potential.
‘Prince’
Naseem Hamed was one of a new breed
of boxer. Always ready to play to
the media, these brash young
fighters are confident of their
ability and not afraid to brag and
show off the spoils of their
success. However, much of this
showmanship seems to come with
trouble, and this has proved to be
so in Prince Naseem’s case. The
Prince was jailed for 15 months in
may 2006 for dangerous driving,
although this wasn’t his first brush
with trouble. His meteoric rise
through the rankings as a young
Bantamweight fighter was indeed
spectacular. He won many fights with
early knock downs. Unfortunately his
fall from grace has proved to be
equally spectacular.
British
boxing has a place in our history,
The Queensbury Rules, the code that
underpins boxing, was formulated by
the British sportsman John Graham
Chambers on British soil almost 150
years ago. Britain has enjoyed a
good deal of competitive success in
boxing over many decades. Lennox
Lewis has made sure that we have had
some recent representation at World
Heavyweight level. Meanwhile a
myriad of talented boxers have
brought title after title home in
the lower weights. Boxing is still
great in Britain!
