    Default World Boxing Hotspots?

    OK I was going to PM some people about this but apparently I don't have enough posts yet

    I'll probably have to move to find work at the end of the year - probably overseas.

    I figure if I have to move anyway I might as well make sure I move somewhere that's good for both my work and my boxing.

    I have a training partner who's moving to New York in June and he said I should go with him. I also have a friend from uni who's planning on finding work in Spain or somewhere around there and she wants me to go with her too.

    I'm trying to plan it now so I can see what kind of jobs are around in that region and make sure I weasel some training in the right areas to find employment there during the final year of my PhD.

    The low level technition job I applied for had no fewer than FIFTY applicants so there's not a lot of work here. I'd be waaay over qualified for that kind of job but I'd still lucky to get it!

    I figure if I have to move I might as well move overseas since moving interstate still has me living a long way away from my family.

    So suggestions? What area of the world and I likely to find the greastest density of good boxing gyms and preferably good medical care since I'll probably need it at some stage?

    I might only have 5 more competitive years left but I'd like to learn as much as possible while I still can.

    Hey Sharla, I reckon that you'll find boxing wherever you go, but from a boxing perspective it'a very good idea to go somewhere reputed and where you'll findthe help you need.

    In New York, there's Gleason's Gym; A Friend is contemplating going there for the summer and I reckon he'll be finding out more soon.

    In Detroit there's Kronk, little more needs to be said, If you put in the work there they'll take you anywhere.

    Wildcard Gym in Hollywood is a cracking gym also.

    I have a friend who trains out of the mma gym "Undisputed" in San Diego.

    Sheffield England has the Ingle gym although the style they teach is so different it may confuse any fighter who dares enter!


    London has a number of respected clubs too.

    Can you describe their style? Sometimes I'm not sure if I've been taught a conventional style or not myself - or if I am able to do what is conventional anyway!

    Thanks for the input. At this stage it's good to have a few different places in mind because I might not be able to just find work wherever I choose to go and I guess I might not be able to find a coach with time for me wherever I find work either!

    I can see that while I'd learn the most training in places where boxing is big I might also find that I'm not of the calibre that will guarantee coaching in places where so much talent already exists!

    Well the three most notable fighters to come from this gym were Naseem Hamed, Junior Witter and Johnny Nelson.
    Hamed and Witer are bothe switch hitters that are typical of the Ingle stye. Hands low, feet spread wide and combinations flying from all angles. Their defensive arsenal involves a reliance on reflexes and evasiveness and the always seem to be in good condition.

    Funny I was talking to a trainer from Liverpool a good coach working with the England squad tuesday at the Institute of Sport. Asked him how his Gym was going in Liverpool, his reply, you cant get them in, they are to busy taking Drugs and shooting each other. Makes you think.
