Talented teenage boxers have enrolled in force onto the Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE) programme for 2020-21, run by six hubs across the country.

The new academic year has seen a fresh influx of talented athletes begin their two-year course, which combines regular boxing training, fitness conditioning and academic learning.

Many more are returning for their second year, which carries a value of 64 UCAS points and brings the opportunity to go on to University, if desired.

DiSE is the official-endorsed boxing education programme supported and recognised by England Boxing.

Below you can see details of 2020-21 enrolled boxers and the clubs they represent in brackets, where applicable, or where info provided (it is set to be updated in due course). Boxers in bold are on the England Talent Pathway (where info provided).
