THE GYM
At Fight Smith Boxing Academy, nestled in the heart of Canberra, our mission is to be the beacon of Olympic-style boxing excellence while championing the development of young individuals, and athletes. We are not merely a gym; we are a community—a sanctuary where individuals with a passion for boxing come together to find empowerment, purpose, and unity through the art of boxing.
Founded by Andrew Smith, whose vision and dedication laid the foundation for what the Academy is today, our gym remains steadfast in its commitment to teaching Olympic-style boxing. Though Andrew has since retired, his legacy of fostering discipline, determination, and values that extend beyond the boxing ring continues to inspire everything we do.
At Fight Smith Boxing Academy, we are dedicated to cultivating competitive athletes in an environment that values hard work, dedication, and mutual respect. While our focus is on training those with the drive to compete, we remain a supportive space for anyone willing to embrace the challenges and rewards of Olympic-style boxing.
