About Thetford Town
Boxing Club (TTBC)
Founded in 2016, Thetford Town Boxing Club brings high-quality, accessible boxing back to the heart of Thetford. We are a fully volunteer-run, England Boxing–affiliated club offering safe, structured training for ages 9+.
Our mission is simple:
Build confidence. Build community. Build champions.
Quality coaching, affordable sessions, and a supportive place to learn real boxing.
Established in 2016, Thetford Town Boxing Club (TTBC) was founded with a mission to bring high-quality, accessible boxing back to the heart of Thetford. Head Coach Matt Dean, who trained at the historic Silver Ring ABC, saw the need for a local club that could support young people and adults by offering a safe, structured environment for developing boxing skills, confidence and personal discipline.
After local clubs closed in the 1990s, aspiring boxers were forced to travel outside the town—an obstacle for many young people without transport. TTBC was created to remove these barriers and ensure that boxing in Thetford could thrive once again.
Since opening, the club has grown each year. TTBC has proudly entered athletes into major competitions, including Box Cups and the prestigious National Amateur Championships (NACs). Our boxers have achieved two senior NAC finalist positions, multiple Box Cup titles, and even produced an undefeated professional boxer.
Accessibility is central to our values. Junior sessions cost just £2 per session, ensuring every young person in Thetford can participate. The club is fully volunteer-run; no coaches or committee members are paid. All funds go directly into improving equipment, maintaining facilities and expanding opportunities.
TTBC is proudly affiliated with England Boxing. All coaches hold Level 1 or Level 2 qualifications, first aid certification, safeguarding training and DBS clearance.
Every year, the club hosts its Annual Home Boxing Show, where the community gathers to watch our talented boxers compete live. Our motto, “We’re gonna show them how great we are,” reflects our passion, unity and determination as a club.
