June 15, 2023 | by Chris Boyd
As part of International Men’s Health Week 2023, England Boxing will be providing information on how to benefit your health and live a healthier life.
England Boxing has over 5,000 affiliated coaches, up and down the country, many of whom spend seven days a week developing the next generation of amateur boxers.
Coaches, instructors and physical activity providers play a pivotal role in encouraging participants with mental health problems to become active.
