Boxing
Boxing is the universal combat sport that is known for its intense discipline and competitiveness. Known for its amazing cardio building exercises, boxing at the University of Birmingham is not just for those who want to compete, in BUCS for example, but for those who want to be a better version of themselves – whether that’s mentally or physically.
Â
Having won Sporting club of the year 25/26, it is evident that UoB boxing is a club for all levels, beginners and experienced, men and women and those who want to step out of their comfort zones.
Â
Meeting various people, the combination of weekly socials and sober gatherings – during fight camps – help all members feel inclusive and welcome here at boxing club.
Club President: Pedram Pirsoltani
Our Club
UoB Boxing welcomes both novice and experienced boxers, offering a supportive, judge‑free space for everyone to train and experiment. Members who show strong dedication — through consistent attendance and effort — may be considered for selection in our fight nights.
Â
Our club isn’t just about training and competing. We run regular socials with collaborating societies, including popular events like the mixed martial arts bar crawl and end‑of‑year celebrations, along with unique boxing‑specific socials throughout the year. As fight nights approach, we introduce sober socials such as Nando’s dinners, game nights and laser tag to help members stay focused while still enjoying time together.
We are partnered with Pat Benson Boxing Academy, giving members access to their state‑of‑the‑art facilities and additional training sessions beyond the university programme. This provides a valuable opportunity to further develop skills within one of Birmingham’s most respected boxing environments. For more information, members can contact our president directly.

Competition Opportunities
We run our annual super series called ‘knockout’ which brings an amazing and entertaining night of amateur boxing for many in attendance. Whilst this show runs in March, we have previously started rolling out a new show called ‘Counterpunch’ which occurs in November and is another fantastic opportunity to get involved with the amateur boxing aspect that we offer.
We annually compete in the BUCS competition against other universities
in boxing, for multiple skill levels and weight divisions. This competition typically occurs in January, and fighters will be selected accordingly by the coaches, based on experience and weight classes.
