Sligo's fastest-growing boxing club. IABA-qualified coaches, a 2,800 sq ft purpose-built gym, and a community that pushes you further than you thought possible.
Gateway Boxing Club was founded in 2018 with a simple mission — to give everyone in Sligo access to world-class boxing training, no matter their age, background, or experience level.
Based at our purpose-built 2,800 sq ft facility at Union Walk Business Park in Ballysadare, we've grown into a vibrant club of 50+ members drawn from Sligo town and the surrounding villages.
Our coaches are fully qualified through the Irish Athletic Boxing Association (IABA) and are committed to bringing out the best in every single member — from first-timers stepping into the ring for the first time to competitive athletes chasing titles.
