The United Kingdom boasts a rich and storied boxing heritage, from the legendary bare-knuckle fighters of the 18th century to the champions who have defined the modern sport. In recent years, this legacy has been further enriched by the explosive growth of Masters Boxing across Europe, where seasoned athletes continue to prove their dedication to the sweet science.

Masters Boxing International - United Kingdom (MBI-UK) was formed to bring this growing movement to the forefront of British boxing. Recognizing the demand for competitive opportunities for mature fighters, MBI-UK aims to foster the same spirit of sportsmanship, fitness, and competition that has become a hallmark of Masters boxing worldwide.

There is no better place to mark this historic occasion than Portsmouth, a city steeped in maritime history and a natural hub for combat sports. MBI-UK is proud to announce that Portsmouth will host the inaugural MBI-UK Golden Gloves tournament, a key event that will cement the UK’s place within the Masters boxing world.

The freshly organized MBI-UK board is hard at work, gathering all the information and resources that boxers, officials, and fans will need to take part in this exciting chapter of UK boxing history. Stay tuned as we prepare for what promises to be an unforgettable year of Masters boxing in the UK!
