That’s why we begin by reaching, engaging, and connecting with some of the most disadvantaged young people through boxing. From their passion for the sport, we inspire them to reimagine what’s possible for their future, in education and careers.
VISION
A world where young people have the power to shape their futures through boxing
We often hear the phrase
"Boxing can take people off the streets",
but at Boxing is Love, we ask
"where to?"

LATEST CAMPAIGN
Fuel to Fight
September, 2025
Fuel the Fight is a collaborative project between Boxing is Love and African.Box, developed with Dr. Yaw Ansong Snr, a PhD researcher at Cambridge University. The campaign raises awareness about nutrition among boxing communities in Nigeria and Ghana.
Together, we created nutrition posters tailored to local produce and shared them across more than ten gyms in Lagos and Accra, including with national teams. By connecting boxing, education, and everyday food practices, Fuel the Fight supports athletes and communities in making informed, sustainable choices that strengthen both health and performance.
