Welcome to Suggys Champions Foundation
Supporting our Community & Empowering Young People
The new home of Newark Amateur Boxing Club (NABC)
Here at Suggys Champions Foundation we are dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for young people in Newark. Our mission is to develop individuals both inside and outside the ring, and make a positive impact in our community. In May 2025 we have rebranded to encompass more fully what we are about as a club and a charity.
Newark Amateur Boxing Club was started with a mission to provide young people with a platform to develop both physically and mentally through the art of boxing. Suggys Champions Foundation will continue this work empowering our members to reach their full potential and become successful in all areas of their lives. Through discipline, dedication, and the support of our coaches, we aim to make a positive impact in the lives of our youth and our community.

Our Origins - Newark ABC
Newarks oldest and most successful amateur boxing club
Formed in 2002, Newark Amateur Boxing Club (NABC) is the longest-running club of its kind in the town.
Its members train regularly with the highly experienced boxing coaches at Suggy’s Gym including GB and England Development Coach Dean Sugden.
Boxers are encouraged to train 5 times a week in all aspects of boxing including technical, physical and mental preparation. All boxers and coaches abide by a code of conduct where we hold discipline and respect in high regard.
At Newark Amateur Boxing Club, we believe in the power of boxing to transform lives. Our experienced coaches are passionate about helping young people build confidence, discipline, and resilience through the sport. With a focus on community engagement, we strive to make a difference beyond the boxing ring.
In November 2023 NABC was changed from a not-for-profit club to a recognised charity in England and Wales.
In May 2025 we changed our charities name to Suggys Champions Foundation. However NABC lives on and our boxers continue to box under our banner of NABC with Suggys Champions Foundation sitting as the umbrella charity to help them continue to succeed.
