Movember is proud to be the Official Mental Fitness Partner of the World Boxing Championships 2025, taking place in Liverpool from the 4th until 14th September 2025. Together, we’re championing the importance of resilience - for athletes, fans and communities.

Resilience beyond boxing

In partnership with England Boxing and GB Boxing, Movember is rolling out the Ahead of the Game programme to more than 2,700 young people, parents and coaches across Liverpool and Merseyside.

The programme helps young athletes and their support networks to:

  • Talk openly about mental health
  • Recognise when help is needed
  • Build the resilience to take on life’s challenges

More than 30,000 people across the UK have already benefited. Now, with the backing of England Boxing, we’re excited to reach even more clubs and communities.

Why it matters

According to NHS England, half of all mental health conditions start by age 14. That makes early support critical.

That’s where boxing plays a key role. As a sport that builds discipline, courage and self-belief, it’s also a powerful platform to promote mental fitness.

England Boxing on the partnership

Louise Vidor, Club and Community Manager for England Boxing, shares:

“Looking after your mental health is essential in boxing, yet the spotlight is often on developing physical strengths. This partnership is about giving young boxers the mental strength to face whatever life throws at them.”

Be part of the movement

The World Boxing Championships isn’t just about world-class competition. It’s about standing together to fight for something greater: the mental health of the next generation.

Join us in Liverpool this September to witness history in the ring - and support a movement that’s transforming the way we think about mental fitness.
