About Hatton Boxing

Boxing for fitness, built to a world champion’s standard.

Hatton Boxing teaches personal trainers and fitness instructors to deliver boxing for fitness properly. Our training was developed with four-time world champion Ricky Hatton, and for over 15 years we’ve certified instructors around the world.

What is boxing for fitness?

The skills and intensity of boxing. Without the fighting.

Boxing for fitness takes the way boxers train and puts it into a fitness session. You work in pairs. One person wears the gloves and strikes the pads, and the other holds them. There’s no fighting and no sparring, just a workout that builds fitness, coordination and confidence, and is a lot more fun than most.

No fighting. No sparring.

Ricky Hatton

Ricky gave it the name. Instructors give it life.

Ricky Hatton spent his life in the gym, and he believed boxing should be for everyone, not just fighters. He gave Hatton Boxing its standard and its credibility. Today the Hatton Way is carried forward by the instructors who hold the pads, run the sessions and send clients home stronger.
