A word from the chairman...

Sport plays an important role in the Armed Forces, developing and enforcing many of the values of Service life.
Boxing in particular exemplifies the characteristics demanded of our servicemen on operations around the world, the very characteristics which set the British Armed Force apart, giving us a unique reputation worldwide.

Despite the high tempo of commitments undertaken by the Services boxing remains as popular as ever and reflects the increased interest across the country. Royal Navy Boxing has had an extremely busy and very successful season both in and out of the ring.

The outlook for boxing in the Royal Navy is very positive and with your support we are looking to build on the success of the last season.
