Lonsdale Boxing Club is a boxing club in Regina, Saskatchewan which offers the training of Olympic style boxing to youth ages eleven (11 yrs) and up. Lonsdale Boxing Club is named after the English boxing fan—Lord Lonsdale—who was the first to introduce modern rules of boxing in 1867. Before then athletes competed without protective gloves, Bouts lasted up to one hundred rounds, and weight was not a concern. After Lord Lonsdale of England successfully introduced modern rule boxing, only then did boxing begin to look more like a sport.
Amateur boxing is considered a safe sport and saftety is due to the high emphasis placed on the health of the athlete. At each boxing competition it’s mandatory to have a physician present. All boxing clubs in Saskatchewan are regulated by Boxing Saskatchewan who in turn adheres to Boxing Canada and the AIBA International Amateur Boxing Association rules and regulations.
In knowing so, Lonsdale Boxing Club’s philosophy entails the emphasis of athleticism, sportsmanship, fair play, and team spirit. Lonsdale Boxing Club provides quality structured boxing training to uphold and enforce the principles of sportsmanship, fair play, and self- discipline.
