Brainiest boxers in the world go to Sheffield City Boxing gym!
It's the start of the academic year at Sheffield's two universities, and that means it's boom time for Sheffield City Boxing Club, home of the world's 'brainiest boxers.'
The Nether Edge gym almost needs elasticated sides to cope with the demand from students, on top of their existing boxers and keep-fitters.
Additionally, some of the most impressive attendance figures are for female-only sessions, where around 70 girls and women typically attend.
Coach Brendan Warburton says: "This time of year is always busy for us. We’ve been working with both universities for about 15 years now, and they are a big part of the gym.
"We’ve got some of the brainiest boxers in the world!
"Both universities' boxing teams are trained by me at the gym, culminating in the varsity boxing show in March.
"There are opportunities for them to compete for the club too, and we have some national champions out of them," said Brendan.
"For some of the students, Sheffield City Boxing Club will play a big part in their academic studies while in Sheffield."
As for the females, he says: "The numbers are great, we actually had 70 in last Tuesday.
"Our female-only sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays are always busy, but the numbers swell when the students come back.
"The sessions are structured and coach-led but primarily fitness-based. But there’s a pathway if girls do want to compete.
"Our female coaches, Carmel Carey, Emily Asquith, and Dolly Forester, are all experienced boxers as well as great coaches.
"There is a pathway if any girls do want to compete, though, and we have around 14 girls who do box that, for the club."
Brendan added: "The success Emily Asquith (she became a World championship silver medallist last month) has recently had a positive effect on the girls' training in the gym.
"On October 19, we have Maryann Price (16) Shakiri Doherty (17)and Holly Steward (22) all in the England Boxing National development finals in Kidderminster."
While space is at a premium in the gym, males and females are in harmony with each other, says Brendan.
"Everyone gets on and it adds to the ethos of the gym. People from all backgrounds train and respect each other.
"The females who compete are from all over, local, Barnsley, Chesterfield, for example.
"Add all the students - who are from everywhere - and it’s a great mix."
