Competition

Sydney Uni Boxing Club enters its own competitive boxers in State/National competition, and also hosts the annual University of Sydney Inter-Collegiate and Club Boxing Tournament, which has traditionally been held on the second Wednesday of October.[3]

Club and College Competition

Competition between the University of Sydney's Colleges occur as part of the University of Sydney Inter-Collegiate and Club Boxing Tournament, with male boxers representing St. Andrew's, St. John's, St. Paul's and Wesley competing for the trophy. Female boxers have never represented their colleges because, until 2009, it was illegal for females to compete in boxing in New South Wales.[4] Profits from the Tournament's raffle go to aid the efforts of a local charity, the Glebe Youth Service.[5]

Female boxers

In the University of Sydney Inter-Collegiate and Club Boxing Tournament of October 14, 2009, female boxers competed on University soil for the first time.[5]

As an active team, Sydney Uni Boxing Club conducts club training sessions all year round, coached by the various club coaches.[6]
