Boxing in Derby

7 boxing studios to discover.

Last updated

Derby has seven boxing studios, and more than half of them sit in one place: four are based in New Normanton, a densely built neighbourhood south of the city centre. Among them are One Nation Boxing Gym, rated 4.7, and Derby City Boxing Academy, rated 4.6, both of which draw regulars from the surrounding streets. Further out, Mickleover is home to Astral Karate And Kick Boxing, which holds a 5.0 rating and combines striking disciplines under one roof. Peartree and Markeaton each have a single studio, so options outside New Normanton are limited and worth checking against your travel route. This page sets out each studio's location and rating so you can compare them by area before deciding where to train.
