Duffy Boxing is the brainchild of former Scottish light middleweight champion Ciaran Duffy who, since his retirement from competing, has gone on to work with and train boxers at every level from aspiring amateur and white-collar boxers all the way through to professional boxing champions.
Ciaran is bringing that expertise and passion to boxing enthusiasts at every level in his new Elite Training Centre, founded with former world champion Johnny Nelson and former European champion Spencer Oliver.
The Centre is located at 6 Tandy Place, London E20 3AS, in the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and London’s fast-growing, diverse and exciting Hackney, less than 5 minutes from Hackney Wick tube station.
After 10 years as a competitive amateur boxer including regional and national title as well as international vests I decided it was time to change codes. In 13 professional fights, I gained much experience boxing against different styles in fights over 6, 8 and 10 rounds engaging in my fair share of hard fights along the way.
I finished my fighting career while on a 5-fight win streak as the reigning Scottish light middleweight champion. But, with long-running injury issues and a lack of imminent opportunities, I knew it was time to move on and before long I began to focus on what would become my second passion: the training/ coaching side of the sport.
Boxing never stands still only individuals do, and I strive always to be at the cutting edge of the sport. I currently manage and train a growing and exciting stable of professional boxers.
I also have a huge interest in introducing people to the sport I love and teaching them the basics as I was taught myself many years ago. I hope to enable every individual to enjoy their own experiences within the sweet science of Boxing.
