Welcome to Bridgend Boxing Club

We are proud to have opened Bridgend's first ever boxing club which has turned out to be one of the smartest in Wales and is already being used by the current Welsh Team.

The idea came from well-known Bridgend businesswoman Glenda Hegarty of Compute Bridgend. Mrs Hegarty contacted Mr David East, President of the WABA (Welsh Amateur Boxing Association), who then contacted David Francis who is Operations Manager of the WABA. The above together with Nick Hegarty then sought to drive the Bridgend club forward.

The facility has been provided by both Nick and Glenda Hegarty. Mrs Hegarty was very prominent in the fund raising for the club providing sponsorship herself and encouraging other sponsors to do the same.

The Club is now equipped to a high standard with changing facilities, a boxing ring and training apparatus.

As a new club we are currently looking for new members to join and we are hoping to add female only training sessions in the afternoons.

Amateur boxing encourages discipline and sportsmanship and does a tremendous amount of good for young people, offering superb fitness .

Coaches wanted - no experience neccesary - training provided.

We look forward to welcoming new members to our club.
