England Seniors Take on Royal Marines Training Camp

England Boxing’s Senior Performance Team took a trip to Portsmouth over the weekend for a valuable three-day training camp alongside the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Boxing Team.

The camp brought both squads together for a packed programme of quality sparring, technical work and conditioned boxing sessions, giving the boxers the chance to test themselves, learn from one another and experience a different training environment.

Away from the ring, the teams were put through a variety of physical challenges and team-building activities, including swimming, track sessions and Mini Olympia, adding plenty of competition and camaraderie to the weekend.

But the trip was about much more than boxing. Spending time together outside of training gave the boxers and coaches from both teams an opportunity to build relationships and share experiences. A visit to HMS Victory was another highlight, offering the England squad a fascinating insight into the history and traditions of the Royal Navy.

There was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the camp, with both squads fully embracing every challenge put in front of them. Plenty of knowledge was shared between boxers and coaches, making it a rewarding experience for everyone involved.

England Boxing would like to say a huge thank you to Sgt Dan Ward, the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Boxing Team and everyone involved in organising the weekend for their outstanding hospitality and for making the squad feel so welcome.
