Our Story — Warriors Boxing Academy, Chadderton
Professional Pedigree. Community Heart.
How It Started
Built for Chadderton. Built for Everyone.
Warriors Boxing Academy started with one idea: bring proper, professional-standard boxing coaching to the people of Chadderton and Oldham.
Scott Walker grew up in this sport. He trained professionally, fought at the highest level, and spent years working with elite fighters at gyms across Greater Manchester. When he set up Warriors at The Lodge on Victoria Street — a converted mill in the heart of Chadderton — he wanted to build something different from the chains and the circuit classes on Oldham’s Broadway.
A proper boxing gym, with proper coaching, where anyone from a ten-year-old kid to a 52-year-old first-timer could walk through the door and be treated the same way.
Over a decade later, the gym has produced ABA competitors, seen kids grow into confident young adults, and become a fixture in the Chadderton community.
