Abstract
[The chapter looks at where Sheffield stands in the unofficial ‘rankings’ of British boxing cities and how, through the construction of the English Institute of Sport (EIS), it became the training centre of the Great Britain Olympic boxing squad. Sheffield’s status as Britain’s first ‘City of Sanctuary’ has also impacted on the city’s boxing profile with the emergence of a new breed of ethnically diverse local fighters. The impact on UK society of other combat sports such as mixed martial arts, UFC and White Collar Boxing is also examined.]
