Ultra Events are dedicated to improving lives through bettering physical and mental health. Whatever challenge you sign up to, you will be embracing something new, joining a fantastic community of likeminded people, forming strong social connections and creating incredible memories.

Ultra White Collar Boxing

Ultra White Collar Boxing is a unique opportunity for people with no boxing background to experience the wonderful world of boxing, in a safe and enjoyable environment. You will receive 8 weeks of free training (worth £300) at a local boxing gym with professional boxing coaches. This will get you fit and teach you the techniques you will need for your fight. At the end of the 8 weeks training, you will be matched based on weight, fitness, ability and age with an opponent from the group you have trained with to ensure a fair competitive bout.

White Collar boxing is all about challenging yourself to try something new, getting active and being part of an incredible community, all of which help to protect and nurture good mental health.
