Thousands of young people, aged 8 to 25, will benefit from huge grassroots investment
Matchroom Boxing is today delighted to announce a groundbreaking, major investment partnership with pioneering boxing charity Empire Fighting Chance to support up to 100 amateur boxing clubs across the UK.
Fresh from receiving Parliamentary praise from MP Chris Webb in the House of Commons for its outstanding work in the Community, the world’s leading boxing promoter Matchroom has further underlined its commitment to inspiring the heart and soul of the sport.
Thanks to a sizeable six-figure contribution, courtesy of the Matchroom Charitable Foundation, the exciting, new association will benefit thousands of young people over the next three years.
Empire work with young people aged 8 to 25 who have been hit by inequality and poverty. The young people Empire work with are often experiencing poor physical and mental health as the result of trauma and toxic conditions.
Empire combines non-contact boxing with intensive personal support to challenge and inspire young people to realise their unique potential. Empire’s model features a powerful fusion of boxing and psychology, delivered by coaches and therapists that young people can trust, in a place where they feel safe, cared for and understood.
The outstanding results in Bristol inspired local authorities in South Wales to invite Empire to replicate their work in deprived communities across the region.
And now, over the next three years, Empire and Matchroom will work with around 100 amateur boxing clubs across the UK, providing them with the resources to deliver Empire’s psychologically informed programmes and develop sustainable business models.
