Why We’re Throwing This Party
Let’s be real. Running an LGBTQ+ boxing club in today’s financial climate can feel like going 12 rounds with Mike Tyson. Knockout has always operated on a Pay What You Can model, keeping boxing accessible to LGBTQ+ people regardless of income. But with rising costs, inflation, and growing demand from our community, we’ve reached a critical point.
Your support will directly shape the future of the club and help us grow by:
💥 Keeping our classes open to all, regardless of financial situation
💥 Developing a new class specifically for queer youth
💥 Expanding our dedicated monthly offering for FLINTA* boxers
In March 2025 alone, we ran 24 boxing classes, including free sessions for queer migrants and people of colour through our partnership with The Love Tank. As we continue to grow, we’re committed to widening our reach so that even more of London’s LGBTQ+ community can access the strength, joy and confidence that boxing brings.
