Ares Male Empowerment
At ARES, we believe boxing should build character, not barriers. Every boxer who steps through the ropes deserves opportunity, guidance, and a fair path to progress—regardless of background, postcode, or connections. ARES exists for the hard workers, the quiet grafters, and the lads who just need the right environment to thrive.
Born out of the success of the Athena Female Empowerment programme, ARES was created to offer the same high standards of training, structure, and support to male boxers across the UK. The demand was clear—while Athena transformed opportunities for female athletes, the calls for a male equivalent grew louder. So, we listened.
ARES is not just about producing champions; it’s about shaping disciplined, confident, and respectful young men. It’s about giving every boxer access to quality sparring, top-level coaching, and a network that helps them push their potential further than ever before.
Whether you’re aiming for championships or simply striving to be the best version of yourself, ARES exists to open those doors—and to make sure no boxer is left standing outside them.
Who We Support
ARES is built for every male boxer who’s ready to put in the work. We support athletes from grassroots beginners finding their feet, to elite-level competitors chasing national and international success.
Our focus is on inclusion, development, and opportunity. We work with boxers from all backgrounds—those training out of small community gyms to those already competing at high-level tournaments. What matters to us isn’t where you start, but how far you’re willing to go.
We also support coaches and clubs who share our vision for progress. By connecting passionate people across regions, we’re building a stronger, more unified network for male boxing in the UK—one that raises standards, opens doors, and gives every boxer the chance to reach their full potential.
Our Mission
The mission of ARES is to empower male boxers through opportunity, development, and respect for the craft. We exist to create an environment where every athlete—regardless of background or experience—can train, learn, and grow at the highest standard.
Our goal is to provide structured, safe, and progressive training opportunities that push boxers to reach their full potential, both inside and outside the ring. We believe boxing should be more than just a sport—it should build character, confidence, and community.
Through regional and national squad sessions, mentorship, and collaboration with clubs and coaches across the UK, ARES is redefining what development looks like for male athletes. Our mission is simple: to raise the bar, open doors, and ensure every boxer has the chance to succeed on merit, not circumstance.
Why It Matters
Boxing has always been about more than punches and footwork—it’s about discipline, purpose, and belonging. But too often, talented male boxers miss out on opportunities because they lack the right support, connections, or exposure. ARES exists to change that.
We’ve seen firsthand how structured development and equal access can transform the sport through the success of Athena. Now, ARES brings that same vision to the male side of the game—helping boxers progress from club level to national and international platforms.
This matters because every athlete deserves the same shot at success, regardless of postcode, gym, or background. When we remove barriers and raise standards, we don’t just build better boxers—we build stronger, more confident young men who carry those lessons far beyond the ring.
