Boxers In Need was founded in 2024 by Gary Cornforth a retired businessman and long time supporter of grass routes boxing, and, Peter Fury,  co-founder and world-renowned professional boxing coach.  Today, the charity is proudly supported by ambassadors from across the boxing community.

Boxers in Need exists to provide vital support in three key areas

  • Professional boxers whose careers have been cut short through injury — helping them adjust to life outside the ring with access to wellness, mentoring, rehabilitation, and financial support.

​​

  • Retired boxers — many of whom struggle after stepping away from the sport they dedicated their lives to.

​​

  • Amateur boxing gyms — often run on a shoestring by volunteers, yet playing a crucial role in giving young people discipline, structure, and confidence while keeping them off the streets.

 

Our ultimate vision is to build a dedicated Rehabilitation Centre for boxers whose careers end prematurely due to injury. This will be a place of recovery, guidance, and opportunity — a safe haven where fighters can rebuild their lives and futures.

​

Through this work, we aim to create a lasting legacy for boxing: ensuring that those who gave everything to the sport are supported, remembered, and celebrated, while the next generation is given the chance to thrive.​

Thank you for your continued support — together, we can build a lasting legacy for the boxing community.
