Highlights from my April 22nd training camp!
So much hard work put in by all these students and the event was an absolute barnstormer, all action from start to finish 😎
Looking forward to another camp starting in September 👊

I managed to find a bit of free time during a class yesterday so capture myself shadowboxing.
Honestly these days it feels less like an exercise and more like a dance.
I’ve rehearsed these movements so many times to such an intensity that now when do it I feel completely free.
It’s such an amazing stress reliever and gets me totally into my body and out of my head.
It’s been a busy couple of months and it’s taken a toll on me and my close relationships but I’m trying to practise what I preach and be less harsh on myself and make time for myself to train and be mindful about it.
Big love everyone and have a blessed day 🙏

February round up!
This month has been super busy with both March and April camps in full swing 🥊
There’s been lots of 1:1 sessions and it’s brilliant seeing everyone getting the basics down and moving onto more advanced skills!
I unfortunately caught something nasty over the weekend so have had to take the last two days off recover and I know my body is thanking me for it even though I hate being stuck at home 😠
But I’ll be back at tomorrow and running 1:1 sessions again on Friday so will see you all you soon!

January wrap up!
2026 is off to a great start and I’ve been plenty with group classes and 121’s, even managed to squeeze in a bit of training for myself.
One thing I’m gonna try and give myself this year is 90 minutes a week solo boxing training.
I’ve started doing it at the start of the week and it feels great to get in the gym and escape the world for a bit.
No excuses and no lies, I missed this Monday but I’ll in the gym tonight to make up for it 😎

This is Salma and Nat.

They had this to say about my 8 week training camp leading up to their first bout where they boxed each other!

NAT
“There were so many moments where I doubted myself and honestly wanted to drop out but Matt’s coaching got me through it.
He was harsh but in the best motivating way and dealt with my lack of confidence very well. I’ve had coaches in the past that would just completely dismiss it or get irritated by it and I didn’t feel that with Matt at all.”

SALMA
“Training with Matt was honestly class.
The 1-to-1s made such a big difference to my fitness and confidence before the fight.
He makes every session feel realistic — like you’re actually preparing for a real fight — and he pushes you to be better without ever making it overwhelming.
He explains everything clearly and somehow makes even the hard sessions enjoyable.
I felt properly prepared going into fight night and it definitely paid off.
Couldn’t recommend him enough.”

Thanks for all your hard work guys and congratulations on your success in the ring!

This is Ethan.
He signed up to last year and was trained by myself for 8 weeks in preparation for his first ever bout.
His discipline and commitment really paid off on the night as he managed to get a stoppage win over a tough opponent!
If you’ve got a bout coming up, DM me and let’s work 😎

2025, my highlight reel!
I’ve had so many awesome moments this year.
coaching my first 8 week fight camp, cornering for Empire ABC, coaching juniors as they take their first steps in the sport and taking clients from absolute beginners to their first sparring sessions.
The list goes on!
Thank you to anyone who’s supported me on social media, booked a session or asked my advice you guys keep me motivated and sharp always 👊
More of the same in 2026 please 🙏

I sparred a friend of mine for the first time in a while yesterday.

We got some good rounds in before a less experienced boxer asked to spar.

He did a round each with both of us and after we finished he asked “what can do to improve”.

My mate answered perfectly.

He said “everyone wants the answer to be an easy ride, the reality is you just have to train hard and stay consistent”.

Turn up. Work hard. Do the basics well. Repeat.
