Sheldon Hunter - Coach

My name is Sheldon Hunter and I coach at Lonsdale Boxing Club. The love of boxing was instilled in me by Adam Faul, my coach when I was boxing. My son started boxing just before COVID and that was the first time I was in a boxing gym since I used to do it. The boxing bug bit me again and I started to help out with coaching duties. I especially enjoy working with new boxers teaching them the first steps. It gives me great pleasure to watch them progress in their fitness level and their boxing skills.
