# Epic Golden Gloves Boxing Club
Epic Golden Gloves is a boxing, social and community club based in Newark, founded in 2011 by Esham Pickering, a former British, Commonwealth and European Champion. The club provides structured boxing training and mentorship for young people and adults of all abilities, creating a safe and inclusive environment where participants develop discipline, confidence and self-management skills alongside competitive boxing excellence.
The club serves children, juniors and adults across Newark and the surrounding area, welcoming those from varied socioeconomic backgrounds who may lack access to quality coaching and community support elsewhere. Epic Golden Gloves is particularly committed to nurturing talent in young people, regardless of ability or circumstance, whilst fostering respect, strategic thinking and healthy active lifestyles.
What distinguishes Epic Golden Gloves is its founder's elite competitive pedigree combined with a genuine community-focused ethos. Rather than operating purely as a competitive boxing gym, the club positions itself as a social and community hub that uses boxing as a vehicle for positive youth development. This dual commitment—to both sporting excellence and grassroots community building—is reflected in their emphasis on equality and opportunity without exclusion. The club's registration with England Boxing and the East Midlands Amateur Boxing Association further underscores their legitimate standing and adherence to safeguarding standards. Their vision explicitly centres vulnerable young people who might otherwise miss out on the transformative benefits of disciplined sport and positive mentoring.
