ABOUT US

Welcome to Papuni Boxing Ōtautahi.

Papuni Boxing Ōtautahi is a not-for-profit charitable trust based in Christchurch, delivering community-focused boxing programmes for tamariki and rangatahi.

We are one of the leading rangatahi-based boxing organisations in the country, supporting over 100 young people every term across our programmes. Our work is inclusive and accessible, supporting tamariki and rangatahi from all backgrounds and ensuring all participants are treated with respect and equity.

 

Our programmes provide structured, consistent training in a safe and supportive environment. Through boxing, mentoring, and positive role modelling, young people develop confidence, discipline, resilience, and healthy habits that support their wellbeing both inside and outside the gym.

​

In addition to participation programmes, Papuni Boxing Ōtautahi offers clear competitive boxing pathways for those who wish to progress. We support athletes to train, compete, and represent our organisation at regional and national events, promoting goal-setting, commitment, and personal achievement.

At Papuni Boxing Ōtautahi, we are more than a sporting organisation. We are a community-based provider committed to creating positive, long-term outcomes for tamariki and rangatahi through sport, structure, and connection.
