Our Story

A home for fighters since 1957.

Established in 1957, Collingwood Boxing Club has a proud history built on boxing, discipline and community.

In 2001, former head coach Kel Bryant took on the challenge of restoring the neglected gym, rebuilding it piece by piece and opening its doors to the local community. What began as a place to train became something much bigger — a place of opportunity, belonging and second chances.

Over the years, the club has produced Australian champions, international competitors and Olympians, while helping countless others build confidence, discipline and direction through boxing.

Today, Collingwood Boxing Club continues that legacy, welcoming people from all walks of life and bringing them together through a shared love of the sport.

“Every day you're going to be faced with decisions, hard decisions and easy decisions. If you decide to take the hard option instead of the easy way out, you will have an easier life.”
— Kel Bryant, Former Head Coach

Committed to helping the youth

Knives down,
hands up.

Put down the knife. Pick up the gloves.

Knives Down, Hands Up is a community initiative run by Collingwood Boxing Club, using boxing as a positive alternative to violence.

Through structured training, mentorship and positive role models, the program provides young people with a supportive environment to build confidence, develop discipline and learn the value of respect.

Our goal is simple — to help young people make positive choices, find a sense of belonging and build a better future, both inside and outside the ring.
