Senior Open Talent Day 2025
April 22, 2025 | by Nabillah Akhtar
England Boxing is hosting an Open Talent Day (OTD) for Senior boxers (born between 1985 – 2006) on Saturday 24th May at the English Institute of Sport Sheffield.
OTD’s are designed to identify talented boxers who may not have been scouted during the recent England Boxing 2025 NACs from the quarterfinals onwards. This could be due to talented boxers meeting in the early stages of the competition, as well as others unable to enter due to injury or illness.
The standard England Boxing is looking for is high. Boxers on the Performance Pathway are expected to meet training demands and potentially compete in international competitions against the best from other nations.
Each boxer will be assessed on technical and tactical skills, using a rating system (RAGG), and are welcome to receive feedback from the England Boxing coaches.
Following the assessment, boxers who meet the required assessment levels will be invited onto the England Boxing Performance Pathway. In either performance or development phase.
