The Bil Sha Boxing Club team is always striving for excellence, and we’re proud to share some exciting news with our members, supporters, and wider community:
We’ve been shortlisted for not one, but two categories at the Official UK Small Business Awards 2025!
This December, we’ll be heading to Birmingham for the national ceremony, where we’re finalists for the Best Community Contribution Award and the Best Gym Award. This year is extra special as we also celebrate our 3-year anniversary, marking three incredible years of building a community and growing the BSBC family.
Here’s everything you need to know about this awesome opportunity.
Recognition From The Official UK Small Business Awards
Being nominated for the Official UK Small Business Awards 2025 in these two categories means a great deal to us.
Since the very beginning, Bil Sha Boxing Club has been more than just a gym. Our vision has always been about creating a safe and supportive environment where people of all ages and abilities can learn, train, and, most importantly, grow.
Let’s take a closer look at each nomination.
Best Community Contribution
The Best Community Contribution nomination recognises the work we do beyond the ring.
From our youth programmes to our community outreach projects, we strive to build a welcoming sense of belonging we strive to build here in Kings Cross, London.
A key part of this is our England Boxing-affiliated Amateur Boxing Academy, where carefully selected young fighters train both in the gym and classroom to develop as athletes and as individuals, representing the BSBC in competitions across the UK.
Boxing is our sport, but community is the heartbeat of the club. Read about our latest initiatives on the BSBC blog.
Best Gym
The Best Gym nomination celebrates the training culture we’ve built.
Under the guidance of Bil, our club founder, and Costa, our dedicated manager and head coach, along with the tireless support of our coaching team, we’ve grown into a space where amateur boxers, fitness enthusiasts, and beginners alike can thrive.
Every session is about building discipline and resilience—two qualities that go far beyond boxing itself.

A Team Effort – Thank You To Everyone Involved
These nominations are a reflection of the hard work and passion of the entire BSBC family, from our coaches and volunteers to our members and supporters.
Every single person plays a role in making our club what it is today. We couldn’t be prouder of the energy and dedication that shine through in every training session and every community project. Here’s to more success in the future!
Final Thoughts
We can’t stress our gratitude for the nominations enough. We’re excited to represent not only our club, but also the wider boxing and small business community.
The awards ceremony takes place in Birmingham on 13th December 2025, and we’ll keep you posted with updates as we approach the big day. Whatever the outcome, being shortlisted is already a huge honour and a milestone for the BSBC.
