The Rock Boxing Academy boasts a rich history and an outstanding track record in UK amateur and pro boxing.
The Academy’s roots trace back to Brodsworth Boxing, the club’s original incarnation. Initially known as Brodsworth Boxing Club, it eventually moved to a new location and was renamed Bentley Boxing. The club thrived for several years, but the onset of COVID-19 forced a temporary closure. After relocating to Marshgate, it was rebranded as The Rock Boxing Academy Doncaster. A few years later, the club found its current home at 94-95 Spring Gardens in Doncaster’s city center.
Our gym is charged with an electric atmosphere, drawing boxers from across the region who are inspired by the achievements of our fighters, both within the gym and on the national stage. From young hopefuls dreaming of Olympic gold to seasoned athletes striving for World Championship titles, The Rock has long been recognized as the “Home of Champions” and aims to be known as the “Strongest Boxing Club in the UK and Europe.” Today, that vision is closer than ever.
The Rock provides top-notch coaching for both juniors and seniors, from beginners to advanced levels. Our boxing team competes year-round in various shows across the UK. The gym’s retro aesthetic evokes the feel of an old-school boxing movie set, reminiscent of classics like Rocky. Many famous boxers have commented on the “electric energy and atmosphere” they feel upon entering, and they’ve urged the owner and head coach, Kev Burton, to preserve the gym’s distinctive look and vibe.
Throughout the years, we’ve kept the gym running thanks to the generous support of local businessmen, donations, and sponsorships. To maintain our operations, we rely on membership fees and proceeds from boxing shows.
Our current junior and senior boxing teams are training hard to become some of the strongest in the country. We welcome challenges from other clubs, whether for sparring or competitive matches—no challenge is too great for Team Rock!
