As the Managing Director and Head Coach of Lionsden Boxing Academy, I'm thrilled to share some exciting news: We are expanding our reach to the wonderful community of Sunbury, Victoria! After years of success and growth in Delahay and Derrimut, it’s time to bring the Lionsden spirit to a new home.

Our journey began in 2002 with a simple yet powerful vision: to create an environment where anyone, regardless of age or experience, could walk through our doors and transform not just their physical abilities, but their mindset and their life. Over the past two decades, we've developed over 20 State Champions, a National Champion, and 5 Professional Boxers. But our mission has always extended beyond the accolades and titles. For us, it's about nurturing the confidence, discipline, and resilience that boxing instills—qualities that serve our members in every aspect of their lives.

The decision to open in Sunbury wasn't just about expansion; it was about community. We’ve seen the talent here, the passion, and the potential. Sunbury isn’t just another location—it’s a place with a rich spirit and a deep connection to its people, and we’re honored to become part of that. We’re not just bringing a gym; we’re bringing a community hub where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together, train, grow, and support each other.

Starting November 12th, our doors will be open to everyone—from kids taking their first boxing class to seasoned fighters looking to hone their skills. We offer a variety of classes tailored to different age groups and skill levels, ensuring that everyone can find their place within our boxing family.

What sets Lionsden apart isn’t just our state-of-the-art facilities or our rigorous training programs—it’s our commitment to each individual who steps into our gym. We understand that everyone has their own journey, their own battles to fight, whether in the ring or in life. And we’re here to guide, motivate, and empower each member to achieve their best.

We’re also proud to continue our work with local community programs, offering a safe and supportive environment for disadvantaged youth and adults. Through these initiatives, we hope to give back to the Sunbury community by helping individuals grow into confident, functioning members of society.

So, whether you’re a parent looking to introduce your child to a sport that builds character, an adult seeking to improve your fitness and mental strength, or an aspiring champion ready to take on the world, Lionsden Boxing Academy in Sunbury is here for you.

Mark November 12th on your calendar and come join us. We’re more than just a gym—we’re a family, and we can’t wait to welcome you into it."
