It’s all about pushing your limits, having fun, and embracing the challenge.
What is the White Collar Boxing Show?
The White Collar Boxing Show is an exciting event where corporate professionals trade in their suits for gloves and step into the ring. It’s designed for amateurs, not professional boxers, and offers a chance for participants to showcase their training and skills in front of a cheering crowd. It’s an adrenaline-packed night full of competition, camaraderie, and personal achievement.
Why Should You Participate?
If you’ve ever wanted to push your limits, both physically and mentally, this is your chance. Training for the White Collar Boxing Show transforms not just your fitness, but your mindset, giving you a deeper sense of discipline and confidence. Plus, it’s an opportunity to bond with fellow professionals outside of the corporate grind, build lasting friendships, and experience the thrill of stepping into the spotlight.
Who Can Participate?
The White Collar Boxing Show isn’t open to just anyone. There are a few important conditions that ensure the spirit of the event remains focused on amateur fighters looking for a new challenge:
You Must Work for a Corporate Company
The show is called “White Collar Boxing” for a reason—it’s designed for people working in corporate environments. Whether you’re crunching numbers, handling legal cases, or managing marketing campaigns, this event is for professionals looking to balance the stress of their daily grind with something a little more physical.
No Olympic or National-Level Boxers
This event is strictly for those new to the sport. If you’ve fought on a national or Olympic level, this isn’t the platform for you. The goal here is to create an even playing field for corporate professionals who are just starting out in boxing. Think of it as a space where rookies come to shine.
No Professional Boxers Allowed
Similarly, professional boxers are also excluded. It’s not a professional bout; it’s a personal journey for corporate professionals who want to step out of their comfort zones. No pros allowed means a fairer, more exciting fight for everyone involved.
No Boxing Experience? We’ve Got You Covered
If you’ve never boxed before, don’t worry—that’s part of the fun. The Ring offers a complete training program for all participants, covering everything from basic punches to advanced footwork and sparring techniques. The idea is to take you from zero to fighter over the course of the program. Whether you’re learning how to jab or working on your endurance, the trainers at The Ring have your back.

Starting with the Basics
Your journey begins with the fundamentals. Even if you’ve never laced up a pair of gloves before, you’ll learn everything from stance, punches, and defensive techniques. This foundational knowledge is key to building your confidence and preventing injuries.
Conditioning and Fitness
Boxing is a full-body workout, and your training will include conditioning drills like running, skipping, shadowboxing, and strength exercises to build your stamina, speed, and agility. You’ll notice significant improvements in your overall fitness, which is crucial for surviving those intense three-minute rounds in the ring.
Sparring and Strategy
As you progress, sparring will become a key part of your training. Don’t worry—it’s done in a controlled, safe environment with your coaches guiding every step. Sparring is where you’ll learn to apply your techniques in real-time, improve your defense, and develop a fight strategy.
Mental Preparation
Boxing isn’t just physical—it’s a mental game, too. You’ll learn how to stay calm under pressure, manage your energy, and stay focused even when you’re tired. These mental skills are invaluable, both in the ring and in life.
