Boxing was an integral part of our club from the beginning. Several champions passed through our doors including, British Middleweight champion Frankie Lucas, three times World Champion Duke McKenzie and Frank Bruno. Frank Bruno boxed for the Sir Phillip Game Amateur Boxing Club from 1977 to 1980, where in his final season as an amateur, he was the youngest ever ABA heavy weight champion, aged 18. Regrettably, due to outside pressure, the boxing at the club was brought to an ignoble end in the early 1980s. At present the SPG doesn't have a boxing club.
