Women's Only Boxing Clubs

A sure sign that boxing is becoming a popular activity for women is the increasing number of boxing clubs that have women’s programs.  Widespread acceptance of females in formerly male-only clubs shows that women are assuming their rightful role as practitioners of the sweet science along with their male counterparts.

The popularity of boxing for women has even resulted in a growing number of female-only boxing clubs.   Here are just a few examples of the many that I have come across in my research on female boxing.

The Toronto Newsgirls Boxing Club
